Here we are with the djinn again, this time played by Sean Connery's son! Although he looks more like the love child of Eminem and Guy Fieri. The biggest crime is not that he appeared in this movie, but that he married Mia Sara who is one of the most beautiful women to have ever existed. But this isn't about that! This is about a really stupid movie.
This time the djinn is awaken by a college student/teaching assistant while looking through her professor's stuff. The remainder of the movie is spent going through the next day and a half while the djinn kills all of her friends in an attempt to get her to make three wishes. You know the deal.
The problem with this one isn't just the ridiculous story. It's the acting. It's the pacing. It's the framing of scenes. It's the ridiculously bad effects. It's the bolt-ons. It's ... everything. This movie falls into that garbage pile of low-effort cash grab sequels. It has no redeeming qualities.
This is a spoiler, but who cares, this movie sucks. One of her wishes is to bring the angel Michael to inhabit her body to help get rid of the djinn. But then her boyfriend steps in front of the .. angel rays? that fly out of a stained glass window in a church. So HE becomes the angel instead. Oh and the angel is a total gimp who can't fight or do much of anything. The angel and djinn do a little slap fighting in the church before going on yet another chase sequence. The dude stays in the "angel" character for like 30% of the movie. The voice is absolutely awful.
OH, and as I type this while the credits roll, a special shoutout to the ABYSMAL music.
Recommended?
NO. Don't watch this movie.
