What to Know

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.

Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Sadly, the movie is a little too dry, too. May 15, 2024 Full Review Vikram Murthi indieWire Force of Nature generates just enough mystery never to be boring, but not enough interest to elevate it above its modest trappings. Rated: B- May 10, 2024 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com The film is well-made and well-acted, but it merely suggests depth rather than actually having it. Rated: 2/4 May 10, 2024 Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird As in the series’ first entry, landscape overshadows people. Rated: C+ Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Derek Sante KSNV (Las Vegas) 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 May 23, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson 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 May 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

BG0411 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Katarina S a classic thriller with the well-known and often used "death on the Nile" style. everyone is a bit of a killer. first part good, this one below average Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Dallas H This search and rescue dramatic movie is a decent story, steadily paced and edited. I wouldn't say it's life-changing or anything close to it. But it's entertaining enough of a flick to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Avindu G 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Dwight D Eric Bana is just horrible in this. Some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
