4/10
A long way short of The Dry

Warning: Spoilers
I love Eric Bana and the majority of his movies and I love the first The Dry movie. I was wondering how they would tie a sequel in. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the result. Bana gives a solid acting performance but the majority of supporting actors I feel fell flat. I was often agitated by the overacting at some points throughout the movie. Also I thought the story was terrible. It meandered around and I had no issue with the jumping back and forth but the story was flat and weak, unlike the initial movie the side plots were uninteresting and limp not helped by some overacting and overly theatrical perfomances. Finally it ended up going nowhere with a confusing nobody did it, it was just an accident result leaving what little suspense and buildup there was to fall flat and trail off to nothing. I loved the first one but the acting and story of this sequel is second rate in comparison.
