I enjoyed Stakeout; this sequel sullies whatever value the first had with implausibility, silly attempts at humor, and a plot line that never finds its way to a satisfying conclusion--if you can even call what this abomination of a script would qualify as a plot. The acting is stilted, forced and unimaginative. Nonsensical would be a good definition of the so-called plot. I will not detail a line-for-line analysis of this flick (it would be a travesty to call it a film) as it would be just as much of a waste of time as watching it in the first place robbed me of an hour-and-a-half of my life. The director, John Badham (certainly an appropriate last name in this case) must have been on something--he certainly wasn't on Bainbridge Island when it was filmed, as I have seen several of his films from the '70s and they weren't bad. Not great, but not bad either. If you trust the clowns who wrote "glowing" reviews of this turkey, well, then it's your own fault. I've done what I can to warn you away.
score 1/10
