Nothing like watching a flick were a girl gets into a gun battle wearing nothing but a pair of boots.The two detectives from the first movie are back. This time with a new cat (the old one does not do straight-to-video, I guess) on the run.Replacing the beautiful scenery of Serbia, with a not as nicely shoot New Orleans, This time a hot stripper steals blue prints from an army base and is being hunted for them.Antony and Julian come into the case when the Julian's cousin, who was there when the whole thing went down, needs his help to figure out what happen.It's far cheesier and pokes fun at itself and the original movie by being far more over the top, but that's what makes it fun.Julian seems to get to be the better detective in this film, and this time both Antony and Julian get love interest. The movie also dabbles in the area of superhero movie with the new Cat having a Wolverine style origin, and a villain who looks like a reject from an Iron Man movie. You usually don't use the term "jumping the Shark" when it comes to movies, but this bad boy changed genres and becomes a complete different, outrageous, element, but I found the whole thing noting but hilarious. I really liked it. I found it interesting in ways that differ and the first one.

This director John Stockwell did made some nice films like blue crush & into the blue with Paul walker & now this lame efforts why is he doing this he could have just use his skills else where sadly he is directing lame scripts these days the first one cat run 2011 which started Paz Vega was somehow tolerable but this is even worse.I am not sure under what category should this film go into seriously is this a spy,buddy cop comedy or simply a nonsense genre one if one could think of it.Remember those soft core films that used to came in 90s this film tried to ape those & failed hard specially the parody of famous action films by Andy Sidaris it is 2014 originality lacks here so many things are lifted from previous hit films like bad boys 2 of will smith & the biggest surprise was the appearance of iron man suite a woman was inside her instead of tony stark if marvel or Disney company catches this film these guys are in trouble.The story of this is the same of the first installment plus & why is this called cat run 2 Catalina is not even in this film but it does have few naked chicks & some gun shooting everything is repeated again.The Plot:Tatiana & 2 fake detectives uncover a mystery that involves high level personnel including the military.The Cast:i wont name all of them all male actors are annoying but highlights are the women here i have to mention Maria Rogers she has the best body ever the only lady i rooted for when she was blazing guns.Hard to say but this is the truth John Stockwell level has fallen in a pit he is about to direct the reboot of kick boxer i have no hope left Jean Claude Van Damme Must be angry over this.There are plenty of good chick flicks out there better then this even Charlie's angles is good you name it.Overall Cat Run 2 2014 is a forgotten sequel along with its predecessor my rating is 3/10.

I was hoping to have a repeat of the original but it started like a soft porn movie which I found distracting from the plot, it was really silly but once the original two characters came into the plot it settled down into the amusing and silly format of the original. It entertained me enough to keep me watching but it lacked that polished edge that you know costs more than these producers had to spend, more amusing stuff would have carried it along better and there was the character Big Ray who actually was the best actor in the movie, but played only a tiny part, pity. The grand finale was just really rubbish though, pitting an Iron Man like suit against some wolverine like woman, it was just crappy nonsensical plot line, something more simple and more inline with the humour would have carried it off better.

The cinematography doesn't hold up to the original as you can tell that they were on a limited budget. None the less the action gets spliced with humor that seems comical and changes the tone for a moment but doesn't integrate well. The writing could of been better and quite honestly they could of been more inventive. There were characters the were interesting but so many missed opportunities to exploit them fully. I was disappointed but mildly entertained. I'm glad at least the two main characters are in there but was very disappointed to see that was it and there wasn't necessary much continuity from the previous movie as the first one suggested that they created an agency which seemed to only continue in this movie as a brief mention. I want to say it had to be budgetary constraints otherwise this could of been a better movie (also poor story plot).
