Backdraft 2

Well it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick but just barely. First I want to acknowledge the reviewer who complained about jacking a round in the chamber, I'm with ya bro ticks me off too. I'm not a LEO but I am ex military and a combat vet and if you're carrying a weapon one thing you don't want is to be jacking around jacking a round you better be locked cocked and ready to rock. The original Backdraft was a classic this one is not, it's not painful to watch but you won't leave praising it either.

Interesting attempt at a follow up story line to the original fire family. Decent casting except for the female firefighter. Donald Sutherland is still creepily good. The soundtrack is excellent,.The excessive f-bombs ruined the main character for me.

I didn't have high expectations for this sequel but the fact that William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland played a role gave me some hope. It didn't take more than a few scenes to dash it.

The story is overly predictable and most characters are so flat that you only notice them because they fill some space. Dialogues sound a copy and paste from a sub-par police procedural show.

The acting of the main character(s) is decent and the camerawork is probably the best this movie has to offer.

There is worse but when all is said and done, this is nothing more than a low-budget, boring sequel to a decent 1990s movie!

This sequel as most of them do did not live up to it's prequel.

It was ok and i had no trouble in watching it once but it's a movie i have no desire to watch again whereas the original movie i could watch again right now.

If you have a couple of hours to spare then watch it to relax and pass time but don't expect to be excited and on the edge of your chair.

Make sure there are no extinguishers around your house too as you may be tempted to use them on your tv in order to stop watching this movie.

This film is interesting to me because it's the first time I watch a film about arson investigation. I think it is suspenseful. I enjoyed it.
