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.

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

B-

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

2/4

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

Eric Bana is always watchable, and the lush Victorian Alps are stunning, but the overly convoluted plot drags things down a bit. Still, it's worth a watch for mystery fans.

It's a slightly inferior film to its predecessor, but it's still a lot of fun to watch, and it works very well on both an intellectual and emotional level. I wouldn't mind seeing more films starring Eric Bana's Aaron Falk. [Full review in Spanish].

Force of Nature: The Dry 2 is an inferior follow-up to The Dry but still delivers a somewhat engrossing mystery and an impressive sense of place.

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.

Dramatic scenery and good cinematography. Feels like Eric Bana and Anna Torv were a bit underutilized in this movie. Could have been so much more, but not at all a total disaster. Some good and convincing moments, albeit few and far between.

Who writes this stuff? Who makes a movie with a script this poor? Dear lord, I began writing this while the movie was still going: it gets worse at the end. It is so bad that I actually feel sorry for Eric Bana. I'm a huge loser who's accomplished nothing in life, yet I still feel bad for the guy.

An Arron Falk franchise has been born. The way the Director, Bob Connelly, made the bush the main character is astonishing. A gripping story, kept me upto midnight, even though I have a bad cold. Visually compelling. Deborah-Lee Furness and Richard Roxborough are world class. Eric Bana holds up his end well. Be silly to miss it. Come on down, Dry3!

A disappointing so-called sequel to The Dry(which I rated as 4 stars). The script was lazy and clunky and the cinematography hardly took advantage of the dramatic landscape. Eric Bana and Anna Tove did the best they could considering the poor direction and script of this underwhelming movie.

Just as good or even better than The Dry. Hoping and wishing for The Dry 3🤞
