On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every day of the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. The Free Movie of the Day we have for you today is the 2008 action drama Animal 2, starring Ving Rhames. You can check it out over on the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.
Directed by Ryan Combs from a screenplay by Jacob L. Adams, Animal 2 has the following synopsis: Years after being shot by his eldest son Darius and taking the fall for his crimes, former gangster James “Animal” Allen serves a life sentence at Folsom Prison. When a riot breaks out between the Blacks and Mexicans, Animal is transferred to Susanville Prison. While serving his time, Animal learns that his son, James Jr., is framed for murder and the one responsible for calling the shots is on the inside. He is blackmailed and forced to return to his dark past as a fighter in order to save his son. On the outside, Darius, now a reformed man, maintains his relationship with his father and does everything in his power with the help of his lawyer to gather enough evidence to clear James Jr’s name.
Rhames is joined in the cast by Vicellous Shannon, Richard Waugh, Yannick Bisson, Conrad Dunn, Benz Antoine, K.C. Collins, Kedar Brown, Kevin Duhaney, Michael Miller, Clé Bennett, Stephen R. Hart, Odeen Eccleston, Jana Williams, Merwin Mondesir, James Maquade, Moses Nyarko, Jay Hunter, Balford Gordon, Bear Schaal, Tim Hamaguchi, Sean Orr, Stephen Lee Wright, Chad Camilleri, Layton Morrison, Nick Alachiotis, Christopher Cordell, Aimée Leigh, Mike Dopud, Jonathan Cherry, and Shawn Storer.
As the title implies, Animal 2 is indeed a sequel to a movie called Animal, which was released in 2005 and also starred Rhames as the title character. That film was directed by David J. Burke, and Rhames helped craft the story for it. In addition to directing Animal 2, Combs has also directed the films Mafia, Double Tap, King of the Avenue, The Hit, I Accidentally Domed Your Son, Straight Out of Compton, Gangster Party, Dirty Kopz, and Wraith of Cain.
