Title: Not as Good as the Original
Review: Brown and Dennehy return in this sequel to the 1987 hit about a special effects man who stages a fake hit on an organized crime boss. Unfortunately, this film is more like a clone in many ways than a sequel.Once again, Brown's character works with law enforcement to stage an event (you think he would have learned by now) this time to trap a killer. Again he uses his special effects tricks to get out of various scrapes. He once again gets in a fight with a hired killer, and once again throws food and kitchen objects at the killer-well you get the idea.This film is just too predictable to be very good. If they had taken the same formula and added a new twist of some kind it could have been a decent sequel. As it is, rent this one if you must see it.
