Movie Info

A volunteer soldier and feared assassin find that the blessing of invisibility begets the curse of insanity in director Claudio Fäh's action-packed sequel to Paul Verhoeven's 2000 sci-fi thriller. When skilled mercenary Michael Griffin (Christian Slater) disappears to the eyes of the world, the world is about to become a very dangerous place. A seasoned killer who isn't afraid to take a life or two, Griffin will go to any lengths necessary to find the serum that will save his life and punish the scientists and government agents responsible for his transparent transformation. Now, with a trained killer set loose on the streets and time running out for the molecular biologist who holds the secret to Griffin's condition, it's up to fearless Seattle police detective Frank Turner (Peter Facinelli) to put his skills to the test and capture a killer who can literally vanish into thin air.

What follows is like James Cameron's The Terminator, only with an invisible assassin substituted for a time-travel cyborg.

90% of the time, these cheapie sequels are never a good idea, not even a fair idea, but at least it gives people like Marc Ostrick a job among many jobs.

Continuação dispensável, elenco inexpressivo, roteiro previsível e repleto de clichês e alguns bons efeitos visuais. ... preciso dizer mais alguma coisa?

...this is about as needless and pointless a sequel as they come.

Essentially a goofy little matinee flick for the FX geeks and the schlock-obsessed sequel-lovers, HM2 isn't nearly as bad as it could have been ... but it's pretty darn disposable all the same.

Audience Reviews for Hollow Man 2

Aug 06, 2017

This low rent direct-to-video sequel is a borderline squatter with the thing most invisible are the absent special effects. With a 10th of the budget of the first movie, actors are forced to embarrassingly throw themselves around to simulate an invisible assailant. Not a whole lot of action and even less T&A to keep anyone interested. Top-billed Christian Slater also disappears from view with only two brief filmed scenes, the rest of the time we only hear his voice. Fittingly, the whole experience vanishes from memory only a couple hours after having seen it.

The first Hollow Man movie was awesome! This sequel may be completely pointless but has enough merits to be an enjoyable one too. Things all move along at a good pace with some effective suspense and pretty decent special effects. But it's just a scaled down rehash of the first film plot-wise and doesn't do anything new with the invisibility gimmick. Good fun though.

Another "okay" type of movie.

Straight to DVD sequel with a weak storyline. A below average follow up to an average invisible man movie.
