It is a movie that embodies the story of Annie who is embarking on a cruise to the Caribbean with her police boyfriend, Alex. This journey seems to turn into a different framework, as their journey becomes fast and furious when a computer hacker infiltrates the computer system of the Seabourn Legend. This person appears to be putting everything on the line and in a collision course on a giant tanker.
De Bont remains an expert director of action, but putting the reference to cruise control in the title serves as fair warning of an unengaged filmmaker on automatic pilot.
First, the good news: Unlike most action film sequels, Speed 2: Cruise Control is not a mere retread of the original. Now the bad news: Better it had been.
De Bont's annoyingly jerky camera seldom stays still, the personable and appealing Bullock is given virtually nothing to do, [and] the plot twists range from the incredible to the absurd.
