Review

FX 2 (1991), which IMDB calls F/X2, is a two and a halfer. That is, it is about 2 1/2 stars, or watchable but not in any way memorable.

Special effects expert Bryan Brown agrees to help the police nail a suspect. When things go horribly wrong, he ends up battling the NYPD, the mob and a deputy DA. He brings in his old police buddy, Brian Dennehy, to help. The film is not without entertainment value.

In my favorite scene, Brown uses items from the shelves of a supermarket to defeat an armed attacker. For instance, he turns three cans of hairspray and a can of baked beans into a grenade. That scene was cut in New Zealand, who felt their deviant youth didn't need any more great ideas like that.

This is a sequel to FX, which was not much better. C-.

Nudity Report: The exposure is from one time wonder, Lisa Fallon, who was used as a decoy to catch a peeper/attacker.

Critics Vote: Leonard Maltin agrees with me, Roger Ebert is even lower at 2 stars, and Apollo says 24.

IMDB Summaryu: IMDB readers give it 5.2 out of 10.

Box Office: The film grossed $21.082m.
