As good as it gets

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2002)

A sequel better than the original. Excellent for so many reasons. Good performances, effects that still hold up 20 years (+) on. However it is the story that wins it for me. The good guys get defeated midway through the film after which the heroes get chased until they are caught and then tortured and imprisoned. Their saviour then comes only to need saving himself. Fantastic and a killer cliff hanger. This is a film about a relentless villain with a purpose and without the gore, absolutely fantastic. The only fault is that the writer/producer and director were not there for the films since, now that would have been worthwhile........
