This sequel doesn’t have the narrative thrust of the original – which was a chase movie – but is still fast-paced and gripping entertainment. It’s quite full on too – the plot centers around an alien invasion of England, coming out of a top secret base which is guarded by henchmen with machine guns… and this is years before James Bond movies. (Just like in the Bonds, Brian Donlevy goes undercover as one of the henchman to access the baddies’ base in the climax).
