The Skulls II

Remember The Skulls (2002) one of a spate of "Cool" dramas that included Cruel Intentions (1999) and Anti-Trust (2001). I didn't think much of it, though I appreciated the concept I thought they dropped the ball.

So what do you do when you drop a ball? You pick it right back up again and that's what they did here.

With no real connection to the first movie they started afresh and maybe that was for the best. Starring Robin Dunne and Lindy Booth it's the same formula, just tweeked and done slightly better.

It tells the story of a young man getting initiated into the secret order known as The Skulls, a way for a young man to have a future full of guaranteed wealth, power and all the things that come with that.

But he starts to have suspicions about the order and what they do behind the scenes, leading to this passable thriller.

You won't find anything very original here but for what it is it's watchable enough but still hardly impressing me with The Skulls franchise.

One movie left, hopefully they kept improving.

The Good:

Lindy Booth

Passable plot

The Bad:

Seen it all before

Not exactly exanding the franchise

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Farting when a girl tickles you may not be as common as I try to make out

When running away from a car the most logical thing to do is run down the road as opposed to off to the side

Half the catering budget went to Aaron Ashmore
