Not very good. Lots of early 90s hair, tinny soundtrack music, really uninspired story. It lacks the clear drive of the first one and hardly has any fun tricks with special effects. The film seems unsure whether Brian Dennehy or Bryan Brown is the hero... it should be Brown but then Dennehy's date is killed and he goes for it. There's little buddy comedy between them. The part of Brown's girlfriend and her son is important at first then forgotten.
I know this was a difficult shoot for director Richard Franklin. There's little of old old style and panache. This experience drove him back to Australia.
The film feels totally unsure of itself.
