Kidnapped by dealers and pumped with heroin, Doyle has to kick his new-found habit before he can set about his revenge. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

At times, it seemed to me that this film simply lacks any pace, as if it dragged on and didn't lead anywhere. Gene Hackman delivers an excellent performance, as if the whole movie was about him and his character, not about solving a case that didn't really interest me much. The first film didn't blow me away, but it is significantly better compared to this one.

Much weaker than the previous one. Still, the scene where Hackman kicks his drug habit is unforgettable. The rest is just average that you will soon forget.
