Movie Reviews of Speed 2 - Cruise Control
Movie Review: This would be prime fodder for RiffTrax...so bad it demands insults hurled at the screen
Summary: 5 Stars
I can just imaging the "Three Riffers"...Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett of MST3K fame...doing a "riff" on this one. It is right on the good side of the "so bad it's good" versus "so bad it's bad" border.
Let's get Jason Patric out of the way first. Not so much a G.I. Joe Action Figure kind of hero as a "The Cardboard Box That G.I. Joe Is Packaged In" kind of hero, he's W-A-Y in over his head. While I do my best to avoid spoilers in my reviews, I'll just say this...if your dream in life is to watch Jason Patric vomit in a Z-grade action film, you...my friend...are standing on the threshold of your dream.
Sandra Bullock. In the original Speed (Widescreen Edition), she admittedly set a standard for the new "heroine finds her inner strength under fire" kind of heroine. In this film, she's kind of...well, less than a "new standard setter."
Is the romantic relationship between Patric and Bullock at all believable? Sure, if you believe that "chicken nuggets" from your local fast food place are made from 100% USDA inspected chicken breast meat.
Willem Dafoe, having the worst of all possible bad hair days, is the villain du jour and it is far from his shining hour.
Put it all together and you have Sandra Bullock and Jason Patric in a romantic relationship that is not at all believable on a big boat with Willem Dafoe in a ridiculous hairdo committing random acts of terrorism while Patric vomits and Bullock paints her toes.
Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper probably laughed themselves silly over this one. If you like really, really, really bad movies, this one's for you.
