Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

The craftsmanship that went into the making of this film has to have been formidable, yet a key part of its enjoyment is its throwaway, unpretentious charm. Read full review

Jay Carr

Brown and Dennehy aren't teen-age, they're not mutants, they're not ninjas, they're not even turtles, but they're just as entertaining the second time around, and of how many sequels can that be said? [10 May 1991, p.30]

Clifford Terry

FX 2 is entertaining enough, but lacks the zip and wit of the original. Read full review

Susan Wloszczyna

The cheesy production values won't grab anyone. When Bryan-Brian aren't schmoozing, there's not much to look at. It's anyone's guess whether this sequel will be as big a hit on tape. But it'll end up on the shelf soon enough. [10 May 1991, p.2D]

Bill Cosford

The film rarely makes any sense, and the climactic confrontation is incomprehensible. [10 May 1991, p.G5]

Jay Boyar

A big-screen version of a routine cop show that occasionally gets by on momentum from the original movie. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Gradually, FX2 ties itself into a knot it can't undo even with the most desperate of measures. Everything is left hanging, and by the end the plotting is so clumsy it's embarrassing. [10 May 1991, p.E3]
