Slow to heat up yet quick to burn out.
Maggie Lee, Variety
Rotten
A tepid rehash of inter-police wars complicated by obscure behind-the-scenes political machinations.
Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
It's comforting to know that Hollywood isn't the only place that produces needless sequels to box-office hits.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
A summer sequel worth its salt, a brisk exercise in suspense and high-gloss mayhem.
Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
