Simple and plain sequel with splendid duo protagonist as Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy
This agreeable follow-up packs intrigue , fast pace , action , suspense and lots of amusement . F/X was a great movie because of the idea of a special effects artist attempting to get himself out of a mess . This followup is also good but inferior to original . It deals with F/X man Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) as expert craftsman , nowadays he is a toymaker and settles a peaceful life . A Police agent , asks Rollie to help him to make a setup for chase a psycho-killer . As Rollie accepts because the cop is the ex-husband (Tom Mason ) of his new girlfriend (Rachel Ticotin) and he carries out the execution the phony work . The operation was going well when allegedly another murderer kills the cop . When corrupt agents double cross him on the staging the fake assassination Rollie finds himself embroiled in a deadly cover-up and he uses his special effects to trap the corrupt agents . Obviously a chief police is involved with the death , but when the things get worse Rollie calls on Leo MacCarthy (Brian Dennehy ) , confronting both of them a corrupt system . The whiz Rollie and Leo team up once more to use their special effects and advanced technology to find those responsible for the death of the cop . Rollie must use his movie magic and wits to discover the true guilty , survive and he becomes involved a mess that includes Mafia , Vatican and some golden medallions . As far as the story goes , it involves a bigger scale of corruption in the law enforcement circle .Entertaining but ordinary 1990’s-type action thriller that has some nice parts as is fast-paced , well acted , engaging and thrilling film . It has ex-Inspector Dennehy and FX wizard Brown in perfect form , developing an enjoyable relationship between the crime-busting buddies . Furthermore, good secondaries as Rachel Ticotin , Kevin J O’Connor , Joanna Gleason , Philip Bosco , all of them make fine performances . Some moments were predictable , but for the most part , it was finely-paced with action scenes efficiently handed and some good intrigue and mystery . There are some very exciting scenes as well as some ingenious special effects, including the final setup that resolves prominently the intrigue . The cinematography by Victor J. Kemper and editing are functional . Decent musical score fitting to action by Lalo Schifrin though excessive use of synthesizer . Action is pretty nicely done and fast moving with some engaging gimmickry provided by means of Animatronics and a telemetry suit , enabling the wearer to control a clown’s movements via remote control that includes piloting a helicopter . The motion picture is professionally directed by Richard Franklin (Road games , Psycho II, Patrick). This is an acceptable if somewhat belated following to surprise hit realized in 1986 that was a Sleeper titled ¨FX , Murder by illusion¨ , the sequel ¨FX2¨ however, the entire thing is nowhere near as exciting and interesting . It’s followed followed by an amiable TV series .
More illusionism in a snappier product, but….
Here’s one of those better sequels, but it’s good to see this ended here, where a spin off movie came a few years later, with that bloody Daddo. What we have here is still a pretty slick FX, that doesn’t disappoint, and holds up against the original, where I found, this one more entertaining than the first, and in some ways better, but of course, not as good as it’s preceding baby of 1986, which was a blockbuster. We cut to a few years later, with the exact same kind of opening. only we have a retired Rollie Tyler and his little stepson, watching the show, this shoot backfiring, and a deadlier backfire later, which propels Rollie back into action, teaming up with an old counterpart (Dennehy, minus the moustache) now a private dick. This one has quite a good backstory, yet with the same surrounding, familiar elements, corrupt cops, psycho hitmen, double cross, etc. where Tyler and Dennehy must bring down the culprits responsible for killing Brown’s girlfriend’s (Ticotin’s) ex, a decorated cop, who’s murder is has a even slicker sting, you won’t see coming,. There’s more creative tricks of illusion, Brown uses here, to fend off the bad guys than the original, and again, I found this one, much more entertaining. It’s good to see our two favorite Bryan/Brian’s back, and there was some nice attributes I liked, including Dennehy waltzing back into the Intelligence Bureau office, rekindling an old friendship, Jamaica tickets in check, and his mode of transport, shows style. Brown too recommends Sydney, as the best place to pick up a pizza. He’s not half right. Slick great paced, colorful action with solid performances in an FX that never dulls. Ticotin is a great choice of casting as Brown’s new girlfriend, and has never been more sexier either. Your 107 minutes of duration goes fast in this one.
