Hollow Man 2 ups the ante established by Paul Verhoeven's 2000 science fiction thriller by involving not one but two invisible men in this direct-to-home-video sequel. Christian Slater is top billed as a former Army assassin who volunteers to undergo the same invisibility experiments endured by Kevin Bacon in the original film. Like before, Slater is rendered transparent but also dangerously unstable, and detectives Peter Facinelli and Laura Regan are called in to stop his killing spree. Scripter Joel Soisson has had a hand in most of the recent horror/thriller franchise sequels (Hellraiser, Dracula, Mimic and others), so he understands what's required to draw in genre fans (violence, special effects, nudity); what he's less capable at producing is an un-cliched script, which essentially strands Swiss director Claudio Fah and the cast (who are much better than the material). Undiscerning horror enthusiasts might check this out hoping for a quick thrill--and they'll find it here, but not much else. -- Paul Gaita, Amazon.com


Synopsis

The result of a top-secret military experiment gone awry, the Hollow Man is an invisible, unstoppable killing machine and he has his sights firmly set on a Seattle detective (William MacDonald, SLITHER) and a biologist (Laura Regan, THEY, MY LITTLE EYE). Now, the pair must somehow manage to find their predator before he finds them, while staying clear of the government forces who are close on them. This sequel to Paul Verhoven's 2000 blockbuster sees Christian Slater replacing Kevin Bacon as the titular assassin.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's not a classic by any means, 23 Sep 2006
The original Hollow Man starring Kevin Bacon was reasonably enjoyable without being a great film. The sequel (as is often the case) is an inferior version of the original. One of the main problems for me was that the Hollow Man (Christian Slater) is only visible for about 5 minutes of the entire film. It's almost an hour in before you actually see how he became invisible and by that time I was already a bit bored, partly due to the lack of any recognisable actors. HM2 has obviously been rushed together with a very limited budget. In that respect the director has done reasonably well in making it all look pretty good, and it does entertain in places, ultimately though this is best rented when there's not much else to choose in your local video store. If I had purchased it I would have been a bit miffed. It's okay, but it ain't great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Strangely Compelling...., 5 Oct 2006
By Mr. G. B. Morgan - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought I would give this a go, after spotting an advert for it in a well-known UK film magazine. I knew Hollow Man 2 was in production, and as a fan of the first movie I was a little non-plussed to find the sequel getting a Direct-to-DVD release.

So I wasn't really expecting much...

I was pleasantly surprised therefore to find an engaging little movie - very much in the spirit of the first (no brain, no logic, full speed ahead with cardboard characters and a plot straight from the back of a 40-year-old comic). It has many faults - Christian Slater just ain't up to the job any more (but seems to be enjoying himself), a long and overly-talky middle act, some extremely ropey visual effects (though it has to be said that there are many good ones despite the obviously low budget), a blatant re-use of a scene from the original Hollow Man not-very-well-disguised, and a conclusion that felt very rushed - dare I suggest the budget ran out?

On the plus side however the 2-dimensional characters are engaging, there are one or two great jump-out-of-seat moments, tips of the hat to not only the original movie but also HG Wells' novel "The Invisible Man", effective use of music (which is all new - not a rehash of Goldsmiths original) and an overall sense of fun (That's Executive Producer Paul Verhoeven shining through, I think) - despite the nasty moments!

To the people that are slating this saying "It's not as good as the first, really disappointed" etc etc, I simply have to wonder exactly what they were expecting! Shakespeare this ain't...

But to the people who are open-minded enough to give this an honest go, you will get out exactly what you put into it. It's not Shakespeare, but it certainly is Hollow Man.

If this is the future for the Hollow Man franchise (there is the obligatory - but well executed - set-up for a Hollow Man 3), it could be an awful, awful lot worse.

Bring 'em on!!

2.0 out of 5 stars If only the DVD was invisible....., 23 Oct 2006
By DVD Fan (london, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
...Then I wouldn't have seen this poor sequel! I only found out there was a Hollowman 2 a couple of weeks ago and realised it must have been a straight to DVD release, starring Christian Slater, this confirmed it. So I rented more out of hope, but the story and plot line are rather poor. The treatment which they managed to duplicate some how, as the lab blew up it the first one, leaves the invisible person open to high levels of radiation. Only a special buffer cure can prolong them to remain invisible and avoid a cancer type illness.
The film does feel a bit rushed and does have some good effects shots despite a lower budget to the first. For me though the first was a great thriller, well acted with great special effects. This is a rushed low budget sequel that tries to cash in on the success of the first....and fails! 5/10
