If the original Stakeout already was no big deal this sequel sinks painful, the idea of buddy cops is really great, both are in the same level, the matter were the lame screenplay withdrawing Madeleine Stowe and did not put together anyone with the same figure, breaking the sexy appeal utter absence on movie, also the miscasting of Cathy O'Donnell in a nonsensical performance, even the premise be the same of its forerunner about the another stakeout on seashore place at British Columbia.
John Badham starts out with a flaming pyrothechnics at highest scale beyond what is expected given the false vibe at least to measure up with the previous one, the plot is far-fetched and the guest actors didn't help to save the picture, aside the endless muddles of the duo comic Dreyfuss-Estevez all remaining leaves much to be desired, no laughing matter, just a ridiculous dog pursuing a cat or rabbit, there no chemistry among them, Cathy Moriarty is quite average, out of her early standard sexy roles, just Miguel Ferrer lives up the cold bloody hired gun.
In a nutshell much ado about nothing, the tiny appearance of the sexy Stowe is outrageous, even she officially was uncredited, as an old saying "Between dead and wounded saved all" it should be better if the producers retained the same elements whereof were allocated on the original, they got wreck a promising and rewarding sequel.
Thanks for reading.
