This may be the most unnecessary sequel I've ever seen. Just why? The first one may have slightly suggested a possible sequel, but there was no need. This film, while unnecessary, is still fun, but more complicated and OTT than the original.
The plot, as I said, is complex, and hard to follow, but there are some fun action sequences. This is pretty much a retread or the original, but with Brown and Dennehy actually working together on screen this time. The character of Rollie Tyler is still likable, and Brown really carries the movie. Tyler is once again tricked into faking a death for the police, which goes wrong, he's again attacked by an assassin in his home, the lives of his loved ones are again threatened, and there is another long, special effects-laden climax at the villain's mansion. It's pretty much the same movie.
The action is entertaining, if unbelievable. The apartment fight scene is good, the convenience store scene is cool, and the climax is alright. There isn't as much action in this one, but there is a robot clown which Tyler controls with a special suit. So there's that.
I'm surprised this movie wasn't rated R. Yes, they held back more on the language this time, but it was still pretty violent, and there's even some female nudity. Definitely R-worthy stuff if you ask me.
Check it out if you saw the first. It's fun, though overwrought.
