A witless, charmless actioner that even Bullock has distanced herself from -- and by the time it reaches the just plain silly finale, it isn't hard to see why.

Reviews for Speed 2: Cruise Control
1 - 6 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticDafoe's take on Dennis Hopper's Hopper impersonation is plain pointless; Bullock too is wasted in a ditzy half-role; and Patric is unsmiling and resolutely uncharismatic.
02/09/06
Top CriticA pedestrian thriller that never captures the thrill of the first, and even more criminally sidelines Bullock.
01/01/00
Top CriticSpeed 2 suffers from a slender script, a tedious first reel and a routine villain who lacks the entertaining menace that Speed's diabolical madman projected.
09/01/08
Top CriticSpeed 2 doesn't have much in mind besides convincing an audience that a runaway ocean liner is a dynamic menace. Fine, but it doesn't beat a runaway bus.
05/20/03
Top CriticEven the film's big-ticket closing stunts are more impressive for their size than for any excitement they generate.
02/14/01
Top CriticMovies like this embrace goofiness with an almost sensual pleasure. And so, on a warm summer evening, do I.
