Movie Reviews of Half Past Dead 2
Movie Review: An Unnecessary Sequel That Proves Itself To Be Necessary
Summary: 4 Stars
While taking a walk down the isle of my local video store I decided to take a look at the new release section, to my surprise I saw laying there a copy of "Half Past Dead 2. The first thought that came to my mind was "When did this come out? Was this even in theaters? Also why make a sequel to a movie that wasn't good in the first place?" all these questions arose in mater of seconds. But curiosity killed me and a decided to give this movie a shot.
One thing you should know is that this movie is not with Steven Seagal, and in my opinion that is what makes the movie better. For those who are unfamiliar with the plot of the first movie it's about some dudes that decide to brake in to a newly reopened Alcatraz, inside they will find an inmate that has the location of a lot of money in gold brick. The inmates decide to fight back against the criminals that are breaking in..Ironic isn't? Anyhow this sequel continues in a sort of linear but independent story that impressively connects with the first movie. The only actors that reprise their roles from the first film here are Kurupt who plays Twitch, and Tony Plana who plays El Fuego. Twicth in this movie like the first is doing time in Alcatraz; he decides to cause trouble so he can be moved to a higher security prison that is not surrounded by water.
After he gets transferred to the other prison he gets caught in between a gang war that gets out of control. Bill Goldberg's character gets blamed for something he didn't do, the whole prison gets taken over by the prisoners, and Goldberg's daughter is being held captive by one of the inmates. Well I don't want to ruin anything else but this movie is pretty good, in a guilty pleasure sense. The director managed to use flashback from the first movie to tie it in with this one, and it works perfectly. I recommend you rent if you want to watch a guilty pleasure.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 ? OUT OF 5
