Luther who wants to get the old gang back together and arranges to meet Buck at the El Coyote in Mexico. Buck starts rounding up the old team which consists of C.W. Niles (Muse Watson), Jesus Draven (Raymond Cruz) and Ray Bob (Brett Harrelson).Bilge Ebiri of Entertainment Weekly rated it D- and wrote, "Without the genre-bending goofiness and engaging characters of the first Dusk, all that's left is cheap splatter effects and clichéd Western/horror homages." Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club called it "a gigantic waste of everyone's time, money, and energy." Youssef Kdiry of DVD Talk rated the film 4/5 stars and wrote, "I really enjoyed this movie. It was violent, sexy and politically-incorrect." I love the vast difference of opinion. And it is warranted, because on its surface this is not a very good movie. It certainly is nothing compared to the original. But you have to give it credit for keeping everything light and fun, and for the myriad of guest stars from Bruce Campbell to Robert Patrick and beyond. Even Tiffani Theissen? Geez. Much more fun today (2016) looking at this in retrospect.

I don't know why, when I'm done watch this movie, I go to IMDb like usual to give my good rating for this freaking good movie and ended up shock with this rating: 4.0 (10/2/2016) and I wonder why its so low. So I digging up and they said this movie have a bad actor, mindless action and everything. I don't know what to say but I love this movie so much as how much I love the first one. I think it looks really great, with modern western style. All the vampire did a really good job here to scared me to death. Maybe because there is no George Clooney or Salma Hayek that make this movie not really popular. But in 2016, this movie looks so classic and I'm sure will be one of those rare material that's hard to be make by people in this age of 2000s. I dunno what to say but the feel, the atmosphere and the action is so good and was carefully made. If you love the first one you will love this one too. One of the best horror action from 90s. It deserved around 7-8 actually.

Given this is a sequel, it already is fighting an uphill battle, and in the shadows of the original "From Dusk Till Dawn" movie, it does have some pretty big shoes to fill out. And while "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money" is entertaining enough in itself, it is just nowhere near the first movie.The storyline is about a group of bank robbers heading to Mexico for a huge heist, but Things turn awry when vampires interfere with some otherwise well-laid plans.Story-wise "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money" just wasn't particularly impressive or original for that matter. And everything just reeks of someone trying to squeeze a buck or two out of the fame of the original movie.The cast list was nowhere as impressive as in the first movie, aside from a handful of people. Danny Trejo popped up for a small role, and he was sadly the most memorable of all in the movie. And Bruce "Hail to the King, Baby!" Campbell had a small cameo appearance.Very unlike the first movie, you don't really care about the characters in this sequel.A mediocre attempt of cashing in on a previous hit movie is what this movie turned out to be.

In a further melding of the crime and horror genres, "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money" entertains as well as it can. Admittedly, it's pretty damn stupid, some of the effects are extremely hokey, and there's not much story to speak of. But it's got a sublime B movie cast, it's very lively and sometimes gory, director Scott Spiegel revisits his "Intruder" gimmick of coming up with ridiculous P.o.V. shots, and there's a healthy dose of humour. All of that makes this a sequel that's more fun than it might have been otherwise.Robert Patrick stars as Buck, a career criminal. Buck is convinced to join a bank robbing scheme by his associate Luther (Duane Whitaker). But Luther has angered the wrong individuals - the blood sucking variety - and this starts a chain reaction of vampirism; things keep going from bad to worse. The wonderfully idiotic twist is that Luther still insists on going through with the job. When the vampires increase in number and get out of control, Buck is forced to team up with his nemesis, a hard nosed Texas sheriff named Otis (the always amusing Bo Hopkins).Patrick, Whitaker, and Hopkins are joined by Muse Watson ("I Know What You Did Last Summer" and its first sequel), Raymond Cruz ("Alien: Resurrection"), Woody Harrelsons' brother Brett ("Strangeland"), and Danny Trejo, a holdover from the first movie. The cameos in the opening sequence are fun, too. James Parks plays the son of the character whom his father Michael portrayed in "From Dusk Till Dawn". Patrick and Hopkins are great (it's a treat to see Bo in an ass kicking role) and they pretty much hold the whole thing together.This is a "good", goofy, dose of no brainer entertainment for 88 straight minutes.Seven out of 10.
