Now working as failing private investigators following their success as crime-solvers in Netflix's earlier film, Nick and Audrey (Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston) get invited to a wealthy friend's wedding at his private island, where a swift murder and kidnapping sees our plucky duo back in action. Sandler and Aniston are seasoned comedy professionals, and their effortless conversation and relationship again prove to be engine that makes both movies entertaining, and the reliable addition of Mark Strong helps things along this time. The formula stays the same but in typical sequel style goes larger and is not quite as endearing: Murder Mystery 2 is a simple, slick and breezy caper/mystery-thriller featuring a couple of fair action sequences and a lively Eiffel Tower-set finale that is pleasantly entertaining but nothing more.
