“We watched this with much anticipation, after having enjoyed the original Deadly Excursion. We were let down early and often. The acting (especially by the lead females) was sophomoric- is freshmanic a word?nSamaire Armstrong, who was so engaging and gorgeous in the original movie was disappointing here. And what with all the eye makeup, especially early in the film? Thatu0026#39;s all we could look at when she was on the screen. Unless they used a stand in, Samaire is a pretty good runner. She ran well in this movie as well as in the original.nThe bad guys were terrible, Miguel made us laugh with all his ridiculous attempts to woo Ellie. And, speaking of Ellie, Alexandria DeBerry was a total disappointment in this movie. It was as if it was her first acting gig ever. She had been pretty good in the original. OK, I shouldnu0026#39;t say a total disappointment- she wore a bikini a lot and looked pretty good. Maybe they should have used her only in scenes where she did not have to act or say anything.nToo many plot holes to discuss in this review. No explanation of where or why the money got involved.”
