Synopsis
F/X2 (1991) is an American action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Richard Franklin picks up five years after the original: Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) has walked away from the movie special-effects business and now builds elaborate electronic toys. The past finds him anyway.
A detective — the ex-husband of his girlfriend — pulls Rollie into one last job: fake a death scene to trap a serial killer. The operation falls apart fast, leaving both the target and the detective dead. Rollie starts digging and lands in the middle of a dirty-cop conspiracy, calling on former NYPD detective Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy) — his unlikely ally from the first film — to help him stay alive.
The Brown-Dennehy pairing is the reason to watch: two guys who clearly enjoy each other's timing, running through a plot that treats Rollie's gadget-and-mask toolkit as actual story mechanics rather than window dressing. Stream F/X2 (1991) online on iFILM.
