I saw the first "MOTIVE" movie awhile ago and don't remember a darn thing, but it was good. Good-looking well dressed well heeled black people plotting on each other. Some pretty-boy, thought he was getting away with something and ended up getting set-up and caught-up. But thats all I remember So getting beating over the head every other scene with them back logging to the first movie got pretty irritating. I mean there were no "Zombies" or "Samuria Swords" or "Spank-Bank worthy love scenes" so I couldn't see watching it again just to know what was going in the second movie. I think the second one would have been better had they feathered it in on the premise of the brother trying to solve his brothers murder. And the suspects just skyfing on each other trying to stay out of trouble. That being said, Micheal White who always plays tragic doomed characters (The Shield / Brick) turned in a good performance as always. William L. JOHNSON made up for his irritatingly over the top performance in the "PLAYERZ COURT".
Plot summary
Vivica A. Fox and Shemar Moore return for this thrilling sequel to Motives that picks up three years after the events of the original film. Innocent convict Emery Simms is serving time for a crime he didn't commit; while most convict's claims of innocence are shoddy at best, Emery has every reason to protest his wrongful incarceration. Meanwhile, in the outside world, Emery's ex-wife (Fox) has married his best friend and the pair is struggling to build a normal life together. When Emery is killed in prison and his brother Donovan (Brian J. White) discovers the truth about what killed his ill-fated sibling, his quest to cut through the complex web of lies and deceit which previously ensnared Emery threatens to bring about deadly consequences.

4-get the first "MOTIVE"
Boring!!!
R u kidding me? Boring stay away! Don't waste your time!!
Even more motives
Even more (no) puns intended - well I reckon that can't be entirely true! As is the fact we get to see the brother of the main character of the first movie. Where was he in movie one ... and I assume you have seen the first one or don't care about the beginning of this movie, that sets up the story - by looking back to the first one.
So his brother got into prison and he never really cared - while telling us he cares a lot now (inciting incident that happens at the start of the movie). Suspension of disbelief is imminent and quite important to say the least. There is a bit of nudity and I do like Brian White as an actor. Vivica A Fox is back and she quite the fun. Even though her role is not that much bigger (maybe even smaller?) than in the first one ... even weirder plot if you can call it that though ... I would not recommend it.
