Director Renny Harlin (Cutthroat Island) took the reins of this 1990 sequel, which places Bruce Willis's New York City cop character in harm's way again with a gaggle of terrorists. This time, Willis awaits his wife's arrival at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, when he gets wind of a plot to blow up the facility. Noisy, overbearing and forgettable, the film has none of the purity of its predecessor's simple story; and it makes a huge miscalculation in allowing a terrible tragedy to occur rather than stretch out the tension. Where Die Hard set new precedents in action movies, Die Hard 2 is just an anything-goes spectacle. -- Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Slovakian director Juraj Jakubisko is quoted as saying that the meaning of filmmaking is having the audience experience more miracles than they could expect in real life. While watching POST COITUM one is reminded of this maxim since the film - which employs numerous optical tricks - is one long progression of sexual encounters a vulgarized and modernized variant on Arthur Schnitzler's drama of indifference: everyone changes partners like other people change underwear and still don't find anything but their own emptiness. With actor Franco Nero as a photographic artist whose relationship to his models is not strictly professional Jakubisko also satirizes his own profession.
