I honestly liked this movie, but it just didn't seem to reach its potential.
The acting was up to par and the right actors seemed to fill the parts but I just had this feeling that something was lacking throughout the whole ordeal. There were without a doubt some awesome quotes...the best one's made by Emilio Estevez hands down. Come to think of it the worst part about this film was its lack of direction. Some things didn't seem to fit at all and left me wondering where the director was trying to take us. The action was definitely desirable and some great shootouts were portrayed especially one of them involving Kiefer Sutherland. Some viewers tore this movie apart but I have to say that it wasn't all that bad. While it certainly wasn't the best I've ever seen it was a fun watch and am glad I finally got around to viewing it. It also added a touch of real life history to it which always makes it more interesting if it is in fact based on a true story. I can't help it but I usually love those anecdotes!
Final Helping:
Movies: That wouldn't be necessary.
DVD Purchase: Good, but not that good.
Rental: Yes, especially if you're a fan of the first installment.
