First things first: I absolutely love Eric Bana and have watched every movie with him. I also loved "The Dry", although I didn't find it extraordinary but only quite enjoyable. However, the second movie "The Dry 2" doesn't keep up with the first one. Despite the outstanding Australian landscape and nature, the story lacks interesting and likeable characters as well as a believable narration. I have rarely seen a movie with that many unlikeable characters. Yes, it was on purpose that they somehow all have a secret but no character, maybe except for Aaron Falk, is interesting enough that I wanna stick until the end. I would argue that, in the end, I almost couldn't care less who's the murderer or how things have evolved. For a certain degree, it felt as if there were too many cuts and the dialogue felt kind of out of place which adds up to the characters being unenjoyable. Certain questions and motives for the acting of characters haven't been answered fully but since the story didn't blow my mind, I can still sleep well.
Lastly, the film music was on of the best things of he movie although the intro music strongly reminded me of a horror movie. But it fits to the mysterious beginning and the question of what has happened in the woods. Nevertheless, I surely won't watch this movie again. It's a one-time for me!
