I actually thought it was pretty clever...

Granted, I didn't think this would be a very good movie going in. I just thought that Susan Ward is smoking hot and so I'd watch her frolick for an hour or so. But actually, I thought the ending of the movie was pretty clever. Of course, the first half if basically just good looking girls running and jumping around, but for that, I'm not one to complain... Seriously though, there were some nice wrinkles in the end... I was surprised. Far, far more than I expected: 7/10

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I love the first movie and this one was basically the same. Only difference was that you knew that the plot twists would come and it made it all a bit predictable. And since that's the core of the piece, it wasn't as good as it could have been. But still, overall it was a good production and it's way better then some movies that goes up on the theaters.

I AGREE! THE STORY HAD A GOOD TWIST TO IT,BUT THE ENDING IS WHAT SURPRISED ME. ASIDE FROM ALL THE T&A, I THOUGHT THE STORY WAS WELL WRITTEN AND I ESPECIALLY LIKED ISAIAH WASHINGTON'S PERFORMANCE AS THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR. THIS WAS A VERY DIFFERENT ROLE FOR HIM, COMPARED TO THE OTHER CHARACTERS HE'S PORTRAYED. AS FOR THE TWO FEMALE LEAD ACTRESSE'S, I WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH THEIR BACKGROUNDS.A VERY GOOD MOVIE,BUT JUST SHORT OF IT'S PREQUEL. panettone7

yeah panettone7....susan ward played in another movie called "The In Crowd" in 2000....it was pretty good, she played an evil crazy seductress who was bisexual so yeah this role wasnt really all that shocking to me...well except she was a lil normal in this Wild things 2

and Leila played as Jamaica on a tv series called "Son of the beach"

I actually rented this film expecting it to be a no-plot senseless T&A show. From that perspective, I was disappointed. But the movie was better than I expected as it did have a decent plot, just not a believable one. I was expecting a 3/10 movie, but I will give it 5/10.

[–] djungelurban 20 years ago

I sort of agree. It's actually a pretty good movie. The problem is that if you've already seen the prequel you already know how the plot twists will be so you won't be surprised no more. But ignoring that fact, it's a pretty good movie and if I hadn't watched the first movie years before, I would probably have enjoyed this one very much.

I agree! I liked it quite a bit. Now I have to admit, I didn't see the original so I can't really compare the two, but I did like this movie.

Clever? I knew what was going to happen the whole time. The original one was much more surprising and clever.

The ending sounds like it may have been good. I didn't watch that much because I came about 40 minutes into it.

I really liked the first one, this one just seemed like a remake with a few different circumstances. You knew there were gonna be plot twists, but I actually thought it was a pretty clever ending.

[–] Dan_Garten 18 years ago

Yes, the last couple of twists, just never really crossed my mind. They were well done. It's not nearly as good as the first, but I like it better than the third.

Agreed, this one was pretty good, not as great as the first but still the ending twists made it pretty damn good. Isaiah Washington stole it for me, he's always good in a role.
