DVD Reviews of F/X 2 - The Deadly Art of Illusion
DVD Review: FX 2
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never ordered this. I am sure it is good, cause I saw the 1st FX movie. It is one movie that you can not leave unless you put it on pause.DVD Review: "Transcendentally Goofy"
Summary: 1 Stars
I just watched this movie on cable today and couldn't look away because I was so entertained but not in the sense that the film makers intended. I kept laughing at the ridiculous MacGyver-esque schemes the main character devised to outwit dangerous professional killers. Formerly a creator of movie special effects, the main character is now an inventor of toys. So what defenses does he use when armed killers are chasing him?? Toys!! This plays out like a rejected episode of MacGyver where hair spray, baked beans, and a life size robotic clown are all manipulated to decieve and ultimately defeat the hapless bad guys.
I'm not trying to be mean spirited here, and don't mean to offend people that might like this film, but this movie is truly dumb and unintentionally hilarious. Btw, the quoted title for this review is from Siskel and Ebert's review of this movie. After laughing hard at the grocery store scene of the movie I couldn't resist watching the review on their web site. Watching Siskel and Ebert's response to this "true disaster" was just as entertaining as the movie and much much shorter.
DVD Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Ah, the return of the characters from the first movie. KEWL.
This sequel is well done, and more enjoyable to me than the first one.
'Course, I like Brian Dennehy . . . and the mix of the two men works very well, once again.
Plenty of action, suspense, and, once again, triumph!
DVD Review: F/X 2 is a great ingenious movie with plot and action!
Summary: 4 Stars
F/X 2 is a great ingenious film with plot and action! F/X 2 stars Brian Brown and Brian Dennehy as Rollie Tyler and Leo McCarthy and they are together for one last adventure to stop Mob from stealing gold Medilians from Vadican embassy in intaly!Great film! Very inventive and well thought out! I Like this movie despite what the movie critics thought about this fim in 1991! I wish there was an F/X 3 but unfortunatly that didn't happen. Despite what others say the movie great and is better then the original movie from 1986. Go find it! It's great movie!DVD Review: todav?a resulta original
Summary: 3 Stars
Todo y que pueda resultar un remake de su predecesora,FX2 logra aprovechar de una forma notable el hecho de que el protagonista utilice su experiencia cinematogr?fica, y concretamente en el asunto de efectos especiales, para conseguir desarticular a un gang terrorista.De las multiples secuencias de acci?n, cabe a destacar el payaso robot,que comparte protagonismo con la pareja principal, y las persecuciones en el supermercado y a posteriori, en la residencia de los "malos".Buenas actuaciones y bastante imaginaci?n para un film que vale la pena.
Description of F/X 2 - The Deadly Art of Illusion
Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy are back for an all-new action-thriller that continues the F/Xsaga with stylish wit, unrelenting suspense and amazing high-tech action. Five years afterhis first deadly adventure, Rollie Tyler (Brown) has left the special effects business and now designs sophisticated electronic toys for a living. But when his girlfriend's ex-husband (Tom Mason), a police detective, persuades him to devise an illusion to capture a serial killer, Rollie is once again lured into the lethal world of make-believe. And soon, he finds himself trapped in a murderous maze of deceit and treachery in which he must depend on his ingenious tricksand his friendship withDetective Leo McCarthy (Dennehy)to expose a terrifying underworld conspiracy...but only if he can stay alive!A rare example of a sequel topping the original, F/X 2 gives us more of the adventures of special-effects whiz Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown). Rollie is recruited by his wife's ex-husband into developing one of his devices for a police sting, but when it goes terribly wrong, Rollie's on the run and in need of help from ex-cop friend Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy). Most of the fun, of course, comes from seeing Rollie in action, whether he's using toys developed in his lab (such as a remote-controlled clown suit) or improvising gimmicks on the run, such as in an exciting supermarket showdown. Rachel Ticotin appears as Rollie's wife, and two actresses who have appeared on Broadway, Josie de Guzman (Guys and Dolls, 1992) and Joanna Gleason (Tony winner for Into the Woods, 1987), play Leo's old flames, police computer whiz Velez and assistant D.A. Liz, respectively. --David Horiuchi
