I'd been meaning to watch this for a long time and it didn't let me down. Ray Allen doesn't do a perfect job as an actor, but at the same time for a basketballer, it is more than admirable. Denzel does his thing and is great in this along with other cast members. The running time has been criticised but a part from a few scenes being too long like the ones involving Milla Jovovich I didn't feel it dragged on too much. The script does a great job of mixing the drama of life with the basketball as well. To cap it off, Public Enemy did an amazing job with the title track.

I was thinking 3/5 for much of this movie, and I felt that I've seen it before, maybe the beginning is similar to one of the other Dirty Harry movies I've seen or I caught this on TV years ago and I don't remember. However, the engaging final 30 minutes earnt it some more.

This whole movie is like 25-30 minutes of lead in setting the plot, and then 60 minutes of non stop action. I'm not sure why it has such a worse rating than the first. I enjoyed both about the same amount. Lots of action and never boring. Those kidnappers do some stupid things though.

Very slow. After 40 minutes I thought that nothing had happened and nothing much more happened for the remaining time. In saying that, it didn't feel really long, it just wasn't every entertaining. I mean, there is a 3-4 minute scene of the two characters just walking with the camera panned on their faces and not one bit of dialogue. Forgettable.

This is basically a rehash of T2 with some added cringe. I don't think it's as bad as some people make out. The action still hits and keeps me entertained. I upped this half a star on a rewatch.
