When an explosion disables the ship on which Annie (Sandra Bullock) and her boyfriend Alex are aboard, it soon becomes clear that the vessel is under someone else's control.

Essentially Speed on a boat, but without Keanu Reeves and with far less exciting action sequences. If you do hold on until the end, the final twenty minutes are pretty good...… Expand

The original was a classic, even with Keanu Reeves' wooden acting, and that's a hard act to follow. Jan De Bont had a tough bite to chew off coming up with a sequel.

Jan De Bont had a tough bite to chew off coming up with a sequel. It's not awful but it really misses a lot of marks. Pacing, identification with minor characters, and chemistry for example really slowed the film down. Which is ironic given the title of the film. For extras it really isn't that critical that they have some acting chops, however it does matter when they are so awful they botch simple human reaction to a crisis the action realism takes a hit. Luckily for S2:CC it had Willem DaFoe to prop everything up. Otherwise I wouldn't even bother giving this movie a score.… Expand

I did no see the first movie but this one its not that bad although the story doesnt sound real and the act isnt that great(I saw it with my family and they think that this is horrible movie because it can even compare to the original one)

Without Keanu Reeves, Speed 2 is like a balloon with a hole in it; no matter how much you cram into it, you can't fill it up.

Not nearly as good as the original, but watchable with a pack of popcorn. The action is thrilling. However, the acting and plot are not too great. Overall, worth it.
