If your expectations aren't very high - and you have wanted to give it ago - then i would say its an ok film. Sean Connery and Michael Ironside make this film bareable and the action is pretty complicated and well executed for the early 90's. Something Different, even if it contradicts everything the first film was about. Treat it as a seperate film francise - when you watch this it will seem tacky but its a good laugh - not intensionally, of course.
