娜奥米·斯科特主演恐怖片《微笑2》，由帕克·芬编剧并执导。这部电影将通过派拉蒙影业院线上映。

除了斯科特，演员阵容还包括罗斯玛丽·德维特、卢卡斯·盖奇、迈尔斯·古铁雷斯-赖利、彼得·雅各布森、劳尔·卡斯蒂略、迪伦·杰卢拉和雷·尼克尔森，以及凯尔·加尔纳（他在《微笑》中重演了乔尔这个角色）。

故事简介：全球流行天后斯凯·莱利（娜奥米·斯科特饰）准备展开一次新的世界巡回演出，却开始经历越来越可怕和莫名其妙的事件。

在恐怖不断升级和名声压力下，斯凯被迫面对她的黑暗过去，重新掌控自己的生活，以免失控。

娜奥米·斯科特出色地演绎了斯凯这个角色，情绪跌宕起伏，她能够带领观众一起经历这场令人无法抗拒的心理之旅。

罗斯玛丽·德维特饰演理智之音，作为母亲（兼经纪人），她总是希望为女儿做出最好的选择…并始终支持她，无论女儿做出何种行为。

卢卡斯·盖奇在电影开头的客串镜头中出色地饰演了贩毒者刘易斯（斯凯的朋友）。

迪伦·杰卢拉也让人印象深刻，她饰演斯凯的朋友吉玛。彼得·雅各布森出人意料地将神秘角色莫里斯演绎得淋漓尽致，在一家酒吧里与斯凯相遇。

评价

总的来说，“微笑2”是一部高能量、血腥和疯狂的电影，有时变得离奇。

问题在于剧情有时会变得有些混乱、笨拙、过于累赘，难以跟随，这可能会让观众失去注意力（电影的长度也应该至少减少20-30分钟）。公式似乎与第一部电影有所重复。

演员们尽力表现，恐怖元素肯定存在。这部电影肯定会在影迷中产生不同反应，取决于他们有多少喜欢恐怖电影类型和/或系列电影。个人而言，这位记者更喜欢前作“微笑”。

总体而言，“微笑2”仍然很有趣，获得B级评分。

Naomi Scott stars in the thriller “Smile 2,” which was written and directed by Parker Finn. It is being released theatrically via Paramount Pictures.

Aside from Scott, the cast includes Rosemarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Raúl Castillo, Dylan Gelula, and Ray Nicholson, as well as Kyle Gallner (who reprised his role as Joel from “Smile”).

The synopsis is: Ready to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events.

Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.

Naomi Scott delivers a commanding performance as Skye, which runs the gamut, and she is able to take the audience along with her on this insatiable psychological ride.

Rosemarie DeWitt plays the voice of reason, the mother (and manager) who always wants what is best for her daughter… and is always by her side regardless of her daughter’s actions.

Lukas Gage is noteworthy in his cameo scenes in the beginning of the movie as the drug dealer Lewis (and friend of Skye’s).

Dylan Gelula is also impressive as Skye’s friend Gemma. Peter Jacobson is a revelation as the mysterious character Morris, whom Skye meets at a pub.

The Verdict

Overall, “Smile 2” is a high-adrenaline, gory, and crazy film that gets bizarre at times.

The problem is with the plot at times; it gets a bit confusing, clunky, overly stuffed, and hard to follow, which can lose the audience’s attention (it also should have been at least 20-30 minutes shorter in duration). The formula seems repetitive from the first movie.

The actors do the best with the material that they have, and the scares are definitely there. This one will certainly be a hit or miss among the fans depending on how much they enjoy the horror movie genre and/or the franchise. Personally, this journalist enjoyed the predecessor “Smile” film better.

Overall, “Smile 2” is still entertaining and it garners a B rating.
