2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing sequel, February 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Detonator 2: Night Watch [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I felt this was a big disappointment compared to the first one (Detonator). While the chemistry between Mike Graham (Pierce Brosnan) and Sabrina Carver (Alexandra Paul) is evident, the script was poorly written and I felt that this movie was just thrown in together. It was not a very suspenseful movie, and some of the acting is pretty atrocious, especially by the characters in Hong Kong. The first Detonator was very well-written, well-directed, and well-acted with great actors such as Patrick Stewart, Ted Levine, and Christopher Lee, but I could not believe that the same director was responsible for this sequel. I would definitely stick with the first Detonator.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pierce as Mike Graham again. Only with long hair., June 4, 1999

This review is from: Detonator 2: Night Watch [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I brought this video from you. You saved me some money on it.

Here is the Bond man again as Mike Graham.

In this one you see a mutual chemistry between Graham and Sabrina.

He orders vodka martini, straight up with a twist.

This one could have been longer too.

It was unusual seeing Pierce with long hair, but you get the feeling by the opening that he just got back from this mission before they send him off to help Sabrina on a mission, and he just didn't have time for a hair cut and shave.

Anyway, he still looks great to me.

This review is from: Detonator 2 - Night Watch (DVD)

Pierce Brosnan is back as a government soldier/agent, this time looking for whoever stole a famous Rembrandt painting and replaced it with a forgery. Working with a female agent played by Alexandra Paul they travel to Holland where they find the painting in the possession of a businessman. He has a deal with gangsters from Hong Kong that involves a computer chip that can be planted in any telephone and then controlled by a satellite he has invented and plans to launch into space.

Detonator 2 is a little more light hearted in tone than the first one but its really no better of a movie. The plot is convoluted and dopey. The acting is somewhere between amateur and people hired from the local mall. William Devane hams it up during the action-packed but wholly unbelievable ending and then its over, leaving you feeling cheated out of quality entertainment.
