Here's one of those better sequels, but it's good to see this ended here, where a spin off movie came a few years later, with that bloody Daddo. What we have here is still a pretty slick FX, that doesn't disappoint, and holds up against the original, where I found, this one more entertaining than the first, and in some ways better, but of course, not as good as it's preceding baby of 1986, which was a blockbuster. We cut to a few years later, with the exact same kind of opening. only we have a retired Rollie Tyler and his little stepson, watching the show, this shoot backfiring, and a deadlier backfire later, which propels Rollie back into action, teaming up with an old counterpart (Dennehy, minus the moustache) now a private dick. This one has quite a good backstory, yet with the same surrounding, familiar elements, corrupt cops, psycho hitmen, double cross, etc. where Tyler and Dennehy must bring down the culprits responsible for killing Brown's girlfriend's (Ticotin's) ex, a decorated cop, who's murder is has a even slicker sting, you won't see coming,. There's more creative tricks of illusion, Brown uses here, to fend off the bad guys than the original, and again, I found this one, much more entertaining. It's good to see our two favorite Bryan/Brian's back, and there was some nice attributes I liked, including Dennehy waltzing back into the Intelligence Bureau office, rekindling an old friendship, Jamaica tickets in check, and his mode of transport, shows style. Brown too recommends Sydney, as the best place to pick up a pizza. He's not half right. Slick great paced, colorful action with solid performances in an FX that never dulls. Ticotin is a great choice of casting as Brown's new girlfriend, and has never been more sexier either. Your 107 minutes of duration goes fast in this one.
