The best female action hero shows the guys how to do it

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2000)

This is a rarity - a sequel that's better than the original.
Sigourney Weaver shows all the male action hero's how it should be done by adding sensitivity and commitment to the role, the ingredients so sadly lacking in macho "grunt" movies like Rambo.
There are so many great scenes, but especially the sequence where she goes back into the abandoned complex, with the countdown running, to rescue the little girl. In the lift (alright then, elevator) she strikes a pose before setting out - awesome.
And what a great understated performance from Michael Behn, surely one of the most underrated actors of all time.
