Another Stakeout (1993)

A woman who is about to testify in the trial of a crime boss goes missing after some associates of the defendant blow up the house where she was hiding under police protection. Two cops and a woman from the D.A.'s office are assigned a stakeout on a house where two friends of the missing woman's are spending the summer.

A lame sequel which repeats some of the shortcomings of the first film and adds a lot more of its own. The implausibility factor is severely intensified, especially in the fact that a couple who is sheltering a hiding witness should be a lot more wary of neighbors, and more so when those neighbors behave and talk erratically. The attempts at humor, in this film, take a turn for the worse, and are for the most part strained and insipid. On the plus side, the cinematography is excellent, and the action sequences, though not as remarkable as those of the first film, are well done.

Rating: 33
