Thanks for the memories!
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A very loose and disappointing sequel to The Cell, Cell 2 stars a Sandra Bullock lookalike as a clairvoyant on the trail of a serial killer named The Cusp. Fifteen minutes into the movie and we know who the killer is. Shot on no budget, this Utah-lensed video makes little effort in the special effects department, in stark contrast to The Cell with its operatic sets and imaginative use of CGI. So it's pretty much a standard criminal pursuit film, and the truth is one can get more kick out of an episode of TV's Criminal Intent. Toward the end, for a few seconds, we get to see our clairvoyant heroine all gussied up. And I must admit I wouldn't mind spending a little time with her. But she is no Jennifer Lopez (or Sandra Bullock) in the acting department, at least not here. Frank Whaley costars.
I loved the first one... it was awesome. if you expect anything like the first one you'll be disappointed. just take my word for it and don't waste your time... this is barely a movie. there is no acting, no logical story, no visual effects and the script was probably written in an hour... I cannot even call it a B movie, C or D movie at best... plain waste of money and time... You will figure out everything after the first 4 minutes. If this movie is your choice for a rental, rent another one with it, or your movie night will be ruined. Now I am just writing to complete 10 lines of text, because there is nothing else to write about this movie, it just sucks. and there you go, 10 lines...
The FBI Agent Maya (Tessie Santiago) has developed the ability of psychically connect with other people after being murdered six times and brought back to live by the sadistic serial-killer Cusp. Now she is tracking down the infamous criminal through his mind using a device to protect herself but after an unsuccessful manhunt, she quits the FBI. One year later, when the niece of Sheriff Harris (Chris Bruno) is abducted by Cusp, Maya's former chief Kassel (Michael Flynn) summons her back to the investigation. Maya teams up with Harris trying to save his niece Penelope (Amee Walden), but her time is short and she must risk her own safety to help the young woman."The Cell 2" uses the idea of the average "The Cell" combined to these sadistic movies of torture like "Saw" franchise, but the result is weaker than the foregoing films. First, the screenplay is terrible, with many clichés and holes and awful characters. The restricted budget associated to the reasonable acting make this direct to DVD movie forgettable and a waste of time. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "A Cela 2" ("The Cell 2")
this movie is another pathetic attempt of making a sequel for monetary reason. it's the couple-ideas-four-coins movie made for satellite TV's needs. if you're planning to see it, you can spend the one and half hour in a different way with no regret. none of the creators of the first movie are involved in this "sequel" and after you see it it's easy to understand why. it's ugly to see once again that producers and money are totally in control of something that should be the sum of all arts, and it's really incomprehensible how can they still think is possible to make a movie without any talented writer. only positive note is for Frank Whaley, whose A-class unexploited talent is anyway not enough to save a D-movie like this.
