Wild Turkey Two Is More Like It!, 12 May 2006
2/10
Author: Kieran Greene from Ireland(originally Scotland)

'Wild Geese 2' Is a contractually obliged sequel to the original mercenary classic, Richard Burton Was due to reprise his role, but sadly Richard Burton, succumbed to a fatal brain hemorrhage, This time around Edward Fox, Fills in as the younger Brother of Faulkner, who is approached by news reporter magnates, who want Faulkner to free the infamous war criminal, Rudolf Hess,(who is incarcerated in the equally infamous Spandau prison, in Berlin,Laurence Olivier,) plays the aging Nazi.Faulkner Decline's the perilous operation,but Recommend's another mercenary for the impossible feat, John Hadad, Played By the ever moody Scott Glenn,who literally sleeps through this performance, Naturally Glenn Cant pull off this mission, so Fox Agrees, 'Wild Geese 2', is watchable but don't be expecting sheer brilliance,
