Critics Consensus

Generally absorbing from moment to moment despite uneven pacing and a rather convoluted mystery, Force of Nature: The Dry 2 should satisfy fans of the first installment while setting up the third.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Sadly, the movie is a little too dry, too.

Force of Nature generates just enough mystery never to be boring, but not enough interest to elevate it above its modest trappings.

Rated: B-

The film is well-made and well-acted, but it merely suggests depth rather than actually having it.

Rated: 2/4

As in the series’ first entry, landscape overshadows people.

While Eric Bana delivers a good performance, for me, Anna Torv helps round out this film with emotion we can ride along with.

Rated: B

Common Sense Media

Falk's return in this perfectly serviceable sequel is evenly paced and has fine outdoor cinematography; it captures a novel's texture, if relying on a few too many flashbacks.

Rated: 3/5

Boring, hard to follow, Australian accents made it difficult to understand. I go the movies to relax, not to figure out a puzzle with lots of pieces missing.

Bunch of different personalities, a missing person and many other entanglements sets up this thriller on a good foundation. An unfortunate mishap within a grand scheme that brings famous detective Falk into this Australian wilderness much damper than the previous instalment. Totally different circumstances but the conclusion is satisfactory could have been even better. Rich visuals of the greenery at last connects to Falks final statement of how nature reclaims no matter what we occupies our lives with all affairs are benath it. Great sound effects. Excellent performances by the cast. And this is another great instalment for Aaron Falk's adventures.

The first movie was so much better. This sequel was just some old whiny women camping in the wild, literally tripping and falling over everything and getting lost in the jungle lol Anna Torv either acts like the ultimate b*tch or she really is in real life... I feel so sorry for whoever is married to her whenever they get into arguments haha

This movie to watch was painful. Excruciating acting; abysmal directing and editing. Had to fast forward on numerous occasions. Eric Bana deserved a better movie.
