3/10
Almost watchable sequel
31 December 2013
This is another movie from the long list of 90's sequels to great 80's movies. Well , the first one wasn't maybe a great movie,but it was a charming and likable good action comedy. This one tries hard to capture the freshness of the original and like many sequels fails.

The story is basically the same as in the first one . The difference is that Madeleine Stowe is reduced to 5 minutes. Instead we have unwanted Rosie O Donell who works this time with Emilio Estevez and Richard Dreyfuss . On the other hand it was nice to see Dennis Farina (TV series "Crime story") , Miguel Ferrer ("Robocop") and Archie the dog is cute.

Speaking of Estevez , boy he was trying hard to achieve any kind of success with his franchises ( "The Stakeout" , "Young guns" and "The Mighty ducks") it's kinda sad that he didn't succeeded. Estevez and Dreyfuss have good chemistry as before and really are giving their best in their performances.

There is not a lot of what I can say about this movie . The movie definitely tries to be funny , but the jokes fall flat . There are some funny moments . It's not a terrible movie , it's almost watchable , but if you haven't seen it you aren't really missing anything . Stick to the original in my opinion.

I give it 3/10.
