I liked the original F/X oh so many years ago and when this popped up on my netflix watch instantly, I couldn't think of a better way to spend a lazy sunday afternoon. With retired special effects expert Rollie Tyler getting into trouble again by helping out a cop friend, Brian Dennehy is back in the picture as the retired cop (now PI) to work out a rescue plan. Nothing fancy, nothing dramatic. Just good, clean B-movie fun with special effects hi-jinks that don't really surprise or wow, but are cheesily (is that a word) effective. And don't miss the clue that this is a 1991 movie by the size of the car phone Tyler uses. Am I easily entertained? Perhaps. But I'm not really embarrassed about it either.
3-stars
