From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money(1999) Starring: Robert Patrick, Duane Whitaker, Bo Hopkins, Muse Watson, Brett Harrelson, Raymond Cruz, Danny Trejo, James Parks, Maria Checa, Tiffani Thiessen, Stacie Randall, and Bruce Campbell Directed By: Scott Spigel Review Hello Kiddies your pal the crypt-critic here, with a somewhat enjoyable sequel you might be able to sink your teeth into. I saw the original From Dusk till Dawn with George Clonney and thought it was a very fun ride. This sequel still maintains the fun of that film which is good but also a little stupid. A gang of bank-robbing misfits heads to Mexico with the blueprints for the perfect million-dollar heist, but when one of the crooks wanders into the wrong bar... and crosses the wrong vampire... the thieving cohorts develop a thirst for blood! The film feels like it's own thing, so it's not really required for me to watch the first film but I myself just like to watch a film series in order either way. It has a pretty cool cast in lead Robert Patrick, Danny Trejo and Bruce Campbell cameo. This is a sequel that brings in the goods especially at the climax but this vampire film did not quench my thirst. I'm giving From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money a three out of five.

After agreeing to participate in a robbery at a Mexican bank, a team finds that several members of their crew are actually vampires and try to survive the encounter before they're turned into the creatures as well as keep the police outside at bay.This turned out to be a lot better than it should've been, and which starts off on a good note with the lack of Tarantino in any shape or form in the story, as well as a fantastic opening attack that really sets the tone for the rest of the film quite nicely. Though the build-up with the recruitment's takes far too long than it should, several of the attack scenes before the bank attack are a little too drawn out and the plot itself has a couple gaping holes (one of which is pointed out in the film itself by the characters) this is still a pretty involving film that really isn't that bad or boring, and the finale is a huge, fantastic action scene that really works very well, with a gunfight, shootouts, hand-to-hand brawling and fighting amongst the action before turning to dealing with the vampires in more traditional manners, which allows for some nice gore to be present amongst it all. All in all, this is a mildly flawed but definitely enjoyable entry.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

This movie was disappointing, predictable, and misleading. Before I begin reviewing this, I just want to inform you that I'm a big fan of the first movie and that I had moderately neutral expectations on the second one. In order to describe how poorly pathetic this sequel is, allow me to organize my thoughts, by numbering sections with a conclusion, without spoiling anything.1) The Script. My god, did the writers finish writing their material in a week and then start shooting the film on a first draft document? I felt that the idea was rushed and the script itself was undeveloped. They should have just left the first one alone.2) Deceptive Advertising. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Bruce Campbell, and Danny Trejo make very short cameos. Please don't allow this movie to fool you into thinking they are the main stars. Also, the Titty Twister is only shown ONCE and for no more than five minutes, even though they marketed to make you think that it's the majority of their locations. 3) Repetitive Shots. Every once in awhile, you'll see these redundant yet irritating POV-like camera angles that weren't even unnecessary, but the stupid Mr. Spiegel really thought that they should be done. I don't know if his vision was trying to be original or artistic, but it just doesn't work.4) Disloyalty to the Original. This movie is loaded with gratuitous violence with no logic or purpose. Were Tarantino and Rodriguez wasted when the writers pitched them the idea? The two probably weren't on set and made money just by having the filmmakers use their title. I mean, damn, there are sequels and then there are crappy, effortless sequels such as this one.Bottom line, this movie stinks and has no redeeming qualities. The story was not properly written, the characters are hollow, and it is nothing compared to the original! Avoid this movie, unless you're curious about how things went downhill or you wish to waste 80 minutes of your precious life.
