De Bont botches nearly all opportunities for suspense.

Reviews for Speed 2: Cruise Control
It droned, it rumbled and it just wouldn’t stop.

The fact that the rescue process inadvertently kills off more people than it saves tends to lessen the tension by utterly devaluing human life.

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

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.

Top CriticJan deBont could make an ice cream truck tootling down your street look exciting...[but] grab some popcorn and try and invent a drinking game based on the silliness.
06/14/01
Bullock, who has a sly and wonderful way of bringing wit and charm to every project she's associated with, is relegated to little more than a bystander.
02/27/01
Even the film's big-ticket closing stunts are more impressive for their size than for any excitement they generate.
02/14/01
Top CriticBullock should be thinking about changing management.
01/01/00
I hope that somewhere Keanu Reeves is laughing about being considered a nonactor while the wax dummy Jason Patric has somehow achieved a rep as intense and gifted.
01/01/00
This one is so chaotic that it's hard to believe it was directed by Jan De Bont, even though he is perhaps to blame more than anyone else for the corruption of this genre.
01/01/00
Just about as bad as they come.
01/01/00
Bullock and Patric seem to be extremely good sports, given how little they have to work with (the film is clever, but strangely unengaging).
01/01/00
As the shipboard action erupts, so do several annoying movie clichés.
01/01/00
Speed 2 finds director De Bont and actor Bullock too content to coast on automatic.
01/01/00
Speed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made.
01/01/00
It is exactly the type of movie that gives a bad name to sequels.
01/01/00
Not as bad as you might have thought it would be.
