Force of Nature: The Dry 2

Force of Nature: The Dry 2
When five women take part in a corporate hiking retreat and only four come out on the other side, Federal Agents Aaron Falk and Carmen Cooper head deep into the Victorian mountain ranges to investigate in the hopes of finding their whistle-blowing informant, Alice Russell, alive.

While I like the mechanics of the storytelling flashing back and forward between what happened on the hike and the search for the missing hiker, the story behind it all wasn’t nearly as compelling as the first film. Eric Bana and Anna Torv (and the rest of the cast) are solid but the emotional connection to the characters seemed totally absent. Bana’s character’s childhood flashbacks to his mother going missing in the same forest, felt superfluous to the mystery of Alice’s disappearance. It’s an ok mystery, but not necessarily something I would recommend everyone see.
