Inventive and exciting, with some gnawing logic flaws.

Bad budget buddy movie. Cusack wears shades and a hat throughout, as if trying not to be recognized. He either owed someone a favor or needed cash. Or just wanted to hang out in Brisbane for a while, which is understandable.

Great cast, poor screenplay.

Shades of “Kentucky Fried Movie”, which I also didn’t like.

Fun and funny.

Can see what they were going for with this period whodunit, but it doesn’t connect. Like so much community theater.

Sluggish, and in retrospect, unnecessary.

In a more epic fashion, as good as the first.
