![]() ![]() Personally I find this very appealing as unlike most films which are part of a set, you can definitely watch this independently of the first. On the few instances that they reference something from the first movie it is quickly explained in such away that you can easily take things for granted without thinking why, all the time. Although "FX2 - The Deadly Art Of Illusion" is a sequel, you can easily watch it without having to know the ins and outs of the original. That is enough of the negatives, now to the positives. ![]() The only other downside is that some of the elements to the film seem a little bit far fetched, but the upside of this is that the film becomes much more entertaining. The fact that the character of Rollie ends up assisting the police again and then ends up being a hunted man who cannot be sure who to trust is just far to similar to the original to make this film as good as it should be. Probably the most annoying thing is that although they have moved the characters of Rollie and Leo on from their first outing, the main thrust of the plot has far too many similarities. Although his murder is put down to the killer that he was attempting to catch, Rollie knows that it wasn't and turns to his old friend, private investigator Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy) to assist.įollowing the success of " FX - Murder By Illusion" 5 years earlier, the controlling powers decided it would be a great idea to make a sequel, and to be honest the resulting film does not suffer the fate that befalls most sequels. Everything seems to be going to plan, until Mike is suspiciously murdered whilst laying in wait for the killer. But when Chris's father, Mike (Tom Mason) a New York cop, asks him to use his special effects knowledge to assist in capturing a ruthless killer, he feels obliged to help. Along with his new girlfriend, Kim Brandon (Rachel Ticotin) and her son Chris (Dominic Zamprogna), he seems to have put behind him the scrapes with the police which caused him to reassess his life. After quitting the movie special effects industry, Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) has settled for a much quieter life, making a living as a specialist toy inventor. ![]()
