July 6, 2010Really, it's the same caliber as the first, I actually think this one flows better and has more interesting bad guys.

March 1, 2010It's faster, funnier and more action-packed than the first. An endlessly enjoyable sequel. Better than the first. Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy are still a great team.

December 31, 2006As most, not as good as the original. Could have been something special, but not really. Just watch it to enjoy on a night and say you've watched it. Some good gags, but Murphy is restricted from his full potential. And not much new stuff either, just old gags and laughs recycled.

From start to finish, the picture is barely alive, staggering through a cardboard obstacle course while waving around a few guns and breasts to keep the audience awake. Full Review

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
Tough, taut direction by action auteur Walter Hill makes this a much better sequel than its reputation.

On it's own it's entertaining. As a sequel, it's dissapointing.

Color-by-numbers sequel that copies the action while forgetting the comedy.
