It's kind of a shame, really. The first one was pretty good, and this
movie could have been so much better than it is. The story is
compelling, the action audacious, no expense was spared on production or
location...but the direction just plain sucks, mostly because of
devotion to the "constantly move the camera around" concept that
supposedly makes even static scenes into something active. No, it
doesn't, it's just annoying. Hold the camera still, fool. There's
still some good stuff here; you might enjoy it despite the shakyvision
direction. Watch it on cable or get it from the library--just don't pay
for it.
