I sort of enjoyed the first one, so bought the DVD of the second to watch, wish I hadn't bothered.
Apart from the odd bit of fairly restrained violence, this plays as a bland made for TV movie type thing, and the acting is truly awful.
For me, films like this need a bit of sleaze, and there's none on offer here at all.
I'm really surprised that some people hold this one in higher regard than the first. At least director William Lustig managed to create a bit of atmosphere in the first.
Don't think I'll be bothering with 3 and 4 of the series as I can't see them being an improvement on this.
