A decent sequel that continues the chemistry between Downey Jr & Law. Plenty of action, more than the first film, lots of witty funny moments as well and cool SFX. Just felt the first film had a stronger storyline.

I read this book as a child and not revisiting it with my children. My kids love it as a story but it also makes moral points that are still relevant in today' society.

Not one of the stronger entries in this series as some of the jokes are, well, stupid.

A very bad slasher film. Follows the usual plot of knife weilding maniac chasing half naked girls around a big house. Looks like a much older film than it is. The fashion is just so bad as well!!!

The most perfect Romantic Action Comedy of all time.
Even the bad guys are likable in some small ways.... this might very well be a perfect story and the movie compliments it completely.
  
Kiss of the Dragon (2001)
Kiss of the Dragon (2001)
2001 | Action, Drama, Mystery
A decent action film with plenty of well choreographed fight scenes. The plot is very basic and not original there are a few lulls between the action scenes but overall it's an entertaining way to spend 90 minutes.
  
Some of the short stories were amusing, but too much of the fiction was excerpted from well-known novels. I have to admit that I only skimmed the non-fiction, which makes up the majority of the book.

Considering my first STP novel was Night Watch, this was a beautiful introduction to Vimes and Co. It really sat well with him, and had just about ever facet of a good action movie found in a novel.
