Uma Cilada Americana 2
Enredo
"Uma Cilada Americana 2" retoma de onde a comédia original de 1987 parou, reunindo o detetive Chris Lugo (Emilio Estevez) e seu parceiro Bill Reuben (Alexei Sayle) para mais uma rodada de serviço de vigilância. Desta vez, a dupla tem a tarefa de vigiar uma casa à beira do lago, onde se acredita que uma testemunha de um julgamento da Máfia esteja escondida ou a caminho. Com seu excelente histórico de vigilância e talento para se meter em todo tipo de confusão, Chris e Bill estão prontos para o desafio. No entanto, as coisas rapidamente se tornam mais complicadas quando eles descobrem que a testemunha, um indivíduo extravagante e excêntrico chamado Milo (Dan Aykroyd), não é o que parece. Enquanto Chris e Bill tentam rastrear cada movimento de Milo, eles se veem envolvidos em uma série de desventuras envolvendo um elenco de personagens coloridos. Há a vizinha linda e atraente, Renee (Sheila Hancock), que se torna uma distração para Chris; o xerife local trapalhão, mas adorável, Barney (Charles Durning); e um grupo de hippies malucos que parecem estar conectados ao paradeiro de Milo. Apesar do caos que se segue, Chris e Bill permanecem comprometidos com sua tarefa, confiando em sua sagacidade, instintos aguçados e diálogo cheio de brincadeiras para realizar o trabalho. Ao longo do caminho, eles também conseguem zombar de si mesmos e das situações absurdas em que se encontram, tornando "Uma Cilada Americana 2" um passeio hilário e divertido que certamente encantará os fãs do original. Com sua mistura de humor pastelão, frases espirituosas e charme alegre, "Uma Cilada Americana 2" é uma sequência deliciosa que constrói com sucesso as bases estabelecidas por seu antecessor. Embora possa não estar à altura dos padrões estabelecidos pelo original, ainda é um passeio divertido e agradável que certamente deixará os espectadores sorrindo muito depois que os créditos rolarem.
Resenhas
Josiah
No matter how much fans might hope, it's simply impossible to have Stoll rehash the same surveillance thriller formula from start to finish. It's a no-brainer. So, to keep the goddess, do they revise and rearrange the story, making it unrelated to stakeouts? Then the sequel loses its entire purpose! Therefore, the stakeout story can't be altered; that's the cardinal rule. Consequently, Stoll inevitably falls from leading role to supporting, then they shoehorn in another woman, and, aligned with a Cold War mentality from the '90s, increase her dramatic weight… Two and a half stars.
Josephine
A prosecutor, thrust into the role of the "wife," teams up with two detectives as they pose as a family, forging an unexpected bond during a stakeout. It's classic American fare, highlighting both individual quirks and the spirit of teamwork.
Piper
It's good enough to simply reminisce about the years when partners could be intimate and playful without restraint, constantly bickering. The beginning soundtrack and style resembled a film noir, but soon there were shots from the cat's perspective. The neighbor's barely contained excitement and nervousness after overhearing the protagonist's affair on the phone was truly vivid.
Sophie
Not bad, humorous and light-hearted. The female prosecutor posing as a mother, seems like the robust female fan from Misery, full of loopholes. The bulky guy pretending to be her son constantly misses his forcibly shorn mustache. The surveillance of the neighbors' crime, followed by the riotously funny scene of inviting the neighbors over, a scene riddled with lip-syncing errors, is hilarious; a whole basket of blunder cops.
Eden
A disappointing sequel. Why couldn't they bring Madeline Stowe back?
Ivan
The duo of Chris and Bill is perfectly suited for this Stakeout, turning a mundane task into an engaging puzzle. With just the right mix of tension and camaraderie, it’s like watching them solve a high-stakes jigsaw puzzle—one where the pieces are often a bit shaky. It’s a fun ride that keeps you on your toes, even if the coffee cups might end up as props in a slightly different kind of throwback scenario.
Selena
Another Stakeout delivers non-stop action and laughter with its perfect blend of crime and comedy. The chemistry between Chris and Bill is undeniable, making their banter and stakeout antics thoroughly entertaining. With its beautiful lakeside setting and fast-paced plot, this movie is a thrilling ride from start to finish. Although it doesn't stray far from typical buddy cop formula, it's a fun and engaging watch.
