Ready?? one....two...three....REGURGITATE!!!!!

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 1998)

Oh dear. Having enjoyed immensely the original and being very disappointed by the second, I was hoping for some form of middle ground from this one. Yet again, we have the same tired mix of ingredients mixed with fertilizer - An attempt to make things bigger and more impressive but whose net effect was to make this film stink. Samuel Jackson is reasonably good - but then he is a good actor, even with this material. Bruce's character, however has become a joke. Speaking of good actors, we also have Jeremy Irons doing the British-actor-playing-a-nasty-foreigner role. But that accent was so atrocious the dialect coach should be tarred and feathered. It travelled so much and so often it must have racked up air miles. The plot was complete and utter drivel and the action unable to suspend such a level of disbelief. For a film with so many explosions and expended rounds, the death of the baddie with the obligatory one liner was the dampest of squibs. What else? Ah, yes -- bang -- bang --- boom --- bang ---boom --- end.
