Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Starring Tommy Lee Jones; Will Smith; Rip Torn; Lara Flynn Boyle. Cert: PG. Running Time: 84 mins.
What do you get when you have absolutely no new ideas and a big budget? This film perhaps? Stale popcorn? Not to say it\’s not watchable. Not to say it\’s not above average fare. But it offers nothing new. And for being only 84 minutes long it plods somewhat.
Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are fine as usual, though somewhat telegraphing their performances. The supporting cast does what it needs to. And that\’s it. It doesn\’t knock your socks off. Doesn\’t make you go ooh, ah, that\’s cool. Not like the 1st one did. Which is what a sequel needs to do. Underwhelming.
