Note de jason_wisdom
As much as I liked Highlander 1, alternating between 9 and 10 stars, that's how much I dislike Highlander 2 The Quickening. The cryptic dialog does not make any sense, the change of lore from 1 to 2 makes no sense, and Michael Ironside's role / Katana's character makes no sense. Should have left 1 as a standalone, to forever live as the cult classic it was meant to be.
Pros: Good acting especially by the star, some good sequences and efforts by all
actors, an original storyline, and the significant & unexpected twist at the end makes me want to see the whole movie again (will wait for Netflix or Amazon Prime).
Cons: Plot holes are an understatement. Willing suspension of disbelief is one thing, a logistically un-believable backstory is quite another. Without going into spoilers, the DNA element alone is mathematically impossible. Then figure travel, international immigration factoring into a supposedly US-based phenomenon...these matter a lot. The script straddles the two cliffs of ambiguity and depth, doing neither one very well. The morality is not thought through, and there is no real message.
Neutral: What is with all of these 1 star reviews, saying horrible without any explanation. Why was it boring, hilarious in the bad way, terrible?

Watch any Not Safe youtube video, and tell me you didn't at least crack a smile.
I particularly enjoyed the lie detector episode, find Nikki's boyfriend a new girlfriend, and the Tinder panels.
The comedians feeding over the top cheesy lines to porn stars while in the act was just original. That skit was so well done.
Not Safe was risqué, yet its delivery was textbook comedy. Nikki was all enthusiastic to "go there," and yeah some bits were predictable, but she was never low class about it.
This has a niche audience, for sure. If you like local comedy, or if you are as not right in the bed like me and think this is a positive not a negative, you'll like it. If you're margaret thatcher or orrin hatch, maybe not. Although I would love to hear Nikki describe her secret fantasy of those two getting it on.....
