Half Past Dead 2 (2007)

There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Goldberg. To anyone who knows him he's an unstoppable force, sheer brutality in the ring, 173 win streak, 285 pounds of intensity. Trying his hand at acting, I expect he'll be lending some of those qualities into another blistering performance. This time in Half past dead 2.However, watching about 30 minutes of it I soon discover the problem, the writers have seemed to borrow heavily from the first Shrek film. His character Burke, is just Shrek with a goatee and Kurupt, providing the 'comic relief' is just a p*ss poor Donkey. Sticking true to the shrek storyline the main focus of the film is to 'rescue the princess' In this case there's two of them, Burke's daughter and Donkey's bitch. They have both been kidnapped during a prison riot which I guess was tossed in to throw us off the scent of the swamp.During the riot you are treated to a selection of fights that look like they'be been choreographed by David Blunkett, a 'rent a Mexican prisoner' royal rumble consisting of Hispanic actors who have been in every cheap prison b movie out there and some of the worst character acting by Bill Goldberg your ever likely to see. While all that action takes place, you have the pleasure of a whiny amateurish gangster rap soundtrack that sounds like it was written by a 13 year old in Portsmouth.In conclusion, stick to wrestling.

This is a sequel to one of the worst movies Steven Seagal was ever involved with, but he bailed out on this one, which greatly improved things. This is watchable, but not particularly memorable.A prison inmate called Twitch (played by Kurupt) and another called William Burke (played quite convincingly by Bill Goldberg) are holed up together in a jail where Twitch believes there is some gold buried. Really? Twitch is visited by his fiancée Cherise (Angell Conwell) and Burke by his daughter Ellie (Alona Tal). Anyway, a riot breaks out in the jail, and Alex Cortez (Robert Madrid) kills a fellow inmate, and two guards, then tries to escape. The two visitors get held hostage by Cortez.Burke and Twitch are already driven together, as the prison becomes ungovernable and the guards seem unable to reassert control despite many fight scenes. Cortez demands a helicopter ride out, or he will kill the hostages. One arrives. But Burke and Twitch find Cortez first. Cue another fight scene.The script is poor, but has a certain logic to it. The fight scenes are numerous but samey. The dialogue is amateur. Camera-work isn't too bad. Half way decent.

this sequel has almost nothing to do with the first one.it's takes place in a prison like the first one did.but it's inferior in every way.the story is lacklustre,the characters aren't really believable.the whole thing is just an exercise in random noise and chaos,with no real direction.and while the acting in the first movie may not have been Oscar worthy,it was Shakespearean compared to what transpired here.i don't mind saying i was pretty bored throughout this yawn fest.it doesn't distinguish itself from other movies of the genre,nor does it even attempt to.i'd definitely give this one a miss,unless you're a big fan of Bill Goldberg.for me,Half Past Dead 2 is a 3/10

Well, I watched this recently and I can say this is a movie like thousand other movies out there... The script was poor, the acting isn't so great. I was expecting at least some good fighting scenes, but the fighting scenes in this movie are ordinary fighting scenes... Well, Overall this is a action, fun-to-watch movie. If you'd like some action and you'd like to have some fun or anything then watch it, bot don't expect something really good. I think that the first one (Half Past Dead) was much better than this one. Well, I give this film 5 stars out of 10, and i also think it's a little bit too much for this movie, but hey it's an almost-decent movie.
