This was fine, the series is far superior though. I wish they had just tacked on another 10 episodes to the series rather than condensing it into two films. We definitely didn't get enough time with the characters and it is incredibly disappointing.

Even if the run time for this movie is under 90 minutes, it still felt like not nearly enough happened. A slightly disappointing follow-up to a great series.

Not that great compared to the series. That's not to say it was bad either, but it didn't really answer many questions, and it seemed to move really slow compared to the series. Saki was incredibly stupid for most the movie, I don't know what Akira sees in her, aside from the fact that she's cute. At times it feels like it's trying to be Death Note, with the memory erasing, the attempts and interesting twists, even the way Number 1 talks. Of course it's not as good though.

Moves at a glacial pace compared to the series. The show was a mile-a-minute, couple-on-the-run thriller that keeps you guessing. (Compare beginnings: a naked man with a gun and no memory in front of the White House, VS 10 minutes of voiceover exposition and sad music, here.) This first film sequel is 90 awkward, plodding minutes that keeps you guessing about why they decided to go ahead with it at all.
