What did I miss?

Rating: 2/10 (6 May 2005)

Other than a plot, pacing, snappy dialogue and a coherent and meaningful storyline? This is almost - but not quite - as bad as those vanity pieces that sank Burt Reynolds in the 80's. Let's rehash again some of Hollywood's worst sequels: Jurassic Park II (maybe the worst major motion picture ever made); Another 48 HRs; Back to the Future II; Godzilla; there's a bunch of others that escape me now. What were they thinking when they made this movie?!? There are a few nice little twists, but they're few and little and they come so late in the game that it just doesn't matter anymore. Terry Benedict smokes our boys out - confronts each by surprise in a series of squandered comedy opportunities - and forces them into another even bigger theft to pay him back (with interest). The plot as it unfolds (unravels) is incomprehensible, at least on the first go-round. This time it's all talk, there's no action as a saving grace. And I'm not eager for a second look to try and figure this one out, I'll leave that to someone else for now.
