Critic Reviews

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    What is comedy? That's a pretty basic question, I know, but Cop II never thought to ask it.

  • Kevin A. Ranson, MovieCrypt.com

    This sequel is basically the same as the first, and it's just as fun too, but seeing as it's so much like the first, I couldn't rate it higher, it could have been better. I liked it, though, and if you liked the original this one's fun too.
