Reviews of the movie: Skulls

These are two excellent movies well worth buying together. I had bought this half expecting Skulls II to be like most sequels released on just video and to be not all that good. I was wrong. It was well done and didn't try and play too much off of the first movie, but rather used the original enough to establish a link.

The Skulls is even better. I think I have reviewed it elsewhere, so I will say here that it is well worth watching if you don't mind a movie that makes you think.

All sizzle, no steak.
"The Skulls" has all the spit and polish of a good film. However, it's story is about as full of holes as...well, a skull. This implausible drama gives us no reason to care if the hero lives or dies as he wends his way through a very implausible plot which is a flimsy as a house of cards. Watchable but lacking in substance.
