Review of Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997) by Steven Y — 31 Mar 2009
This sequel to a chronically overrated original is a voyage to the bottom of the barrel, with Sandra Bullock and bland Jason Patric going for a nice cruise only for computer nut Willem Dafoe and his leeches to hijack the ship.
Erk! The witless screenplay consists of characters explaining what's just happened, the title is a misnomer because the pace is so slow, and Bullock is bloody annoying, although to be fair she has nothing to do besides whine a lot while looking good.
The film's saving graces are Mark Mancina's score (great credits music) and Dafoe, who recognises this for the rubbish it is and hams it up like a right mad bastard.
