 Stephen Holden of "The New York Times" opined that "as long as it is fixated on gadgetry, 'FX2' is reasonably entertaining.But when the movie focuses on plot and character, it turns quite dotty in an amiable way.The story is as far-fetched as it is tortuous and deals with police corruption, the theft of some priceless gold coins, relations between the Mafia and the Vatican, and a boy's computer software.
