One night at the bar, Sean starts a brawl, causing damage to the bar and hospitalizing the other patrons. Sean is still around, a frequent patron, but not much exists between them now. It's a hard, and difficult life, but at least she's happy. Working at her Father's bar, she makes due. Although Sherry still loves Sean, she still believes that she and their son Mikey, are better off without him. Having squandered his savings, suffered the loss of family through divorce, and perhaps worst of all, his self-respect. Having become a decorated MMA champion, young Father and husband to a beautiful wife, the now retired fighter has hit the bottom. Simply put, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money just feels so pointless.Sean "THE KILLIN'" Dillon was on top of the world. The fun factor that made up the original is gone and the light-hearted humorous moments missing resulting in a drab looking and unenjoyable watch. Buck, as the lead is so unlikable that it makes him impossible to get behind and the attempts to make him cool like George Clooney’s Seth fall extremely flat. The characters are so bland, so forgettable that the actors behind the roles could hardly do much to wring life out of them. It’s so stupidly convenient that you’ll be left wondering why the writers didn’t just keep it nighttime? No-one would have noticed or complained! Bad writing, designed to pad out the run-time. It just appears and manages to last long enough for the movie to reach its conclusion. What happens literally 5 seconds later? The fastest and longest eclipse ever. Here’s an example…the sun is coming up forcing the vampires to have to run for cover inside the bank instead of slaughtering the police outside. No, the problem here is the lacklustre story, the horrid pacing and the lack of imagination that makes it such a chore. The problem with From Dusk Till Dawn 2 isn’t the acting, it’s not the visuals (although they do look a bit dated) nor is it the depiction of vampires as these lot are similar to the ones in the first film. Luther’s new attitude bothers Buck though, he suspects something isn’t quite right but agrees to go along with the new plan.Īs will anyone else who continues watching after this stage. Luther becomes a vampire too and heads off to meet his old pals still planning to continue the heist. He agrees to drive Luther to where he needs to go but when he hears about the killing of the bat attacks him instead. He kills it and heads to a nearby bar, The Titty Twister to seek help, something he gets from Danny Trejo’s barman. Luther has run into a bit of car trouble having hit a pretty big bat. (Muse Watson), Jesus (Raymond Cruz) and Ray Bob (Brett Harrelson) and they head off to Mexico to meet Luther. A bank job.īuck sets about rounding up the old team which consists of C.W. The phone rings and guess who it is? It’s Luther wanting to get the old gang back together with Buck so they can do one big hit. He ends up seeing a news piece about his old friend, Luther (Duane Whitaker) having escaped prison and when the ranger (Bo Hopkins) hunting him comes looking for him at Bucks, he denies that they’ve been in contact. The pair are killed and it is revealed that this just a film Buck (Robert Patrick) is watching while having sex.
The movie opens with cameos from Bruce Campbell and Tiffani Thiessen as an unlucky pair that get attacked by bats inside an elevator. Simply put, by time the credits roll you’ll be left wondering just what was the point of this sequel. Read our review of season one here, season two here and season three here. Especially as the star of this film (Robert Patrick) also starred in the first season of the show.
#RATING FOR BLOOD MONEY MOVIE 2017 TV#
In fact, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money probably shares more in common with the TV show that ran for 3 seasons. There is very little to link this to the first film except for a pointlessly dropped line of dialogue about the Gecko brothers. How is he alive? Who cares! This film doesn’t.
Let’s instead tell a totally different story about bank robbing vampires and make the only returning character, Danny Trejo’s vampire barman even though he is supposed to be dead! Think of the possibilities…would we follow George Clooney’s Seth Grecko or Juliette Lewis’ Kate as they go their separate ways? Would we see other vampire locations and have the pair as some sort of smart-talking, ass-kicking vengeful duo? After the surprise success that From Dusk Till Dawn got, it was almost a given that we would get some sort of sequel.
