What a reeking bag of nothingness! What emptiness, what vaporous vapidity! What rot, stink, and whiff of mold spore!

Se 'Twister' era um insulto, 'Velocidade Máxima 2' é uma tentativa de homicídio.

Sixty minutes of poorly photographed rescue attempts sum up the substance of the movie.

When some people talk about how much they loathed 1997's Big Boat Movie, I think they must mean this one.

A waterlogged sequel that'll soon be bottom-feeding with Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.

This time I found myself contemplating how far into a bay a huge cruise ship could actually go before it ran aground in the sand, instead of watching De Bont's plot unfold.

This is the kind of movie that Chuck Norris would have made 15 years ago, except there would be two dozen bad guys and plenty more excitement.

If Speed 2 and let's say, Kissed, a dark comedy about a woman necrophile, were the very last two movies at the video store, I would pick Kissed.
