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. ![]() I thought I would give this a go, after spotting an advert for it in a well-known UK film magazine. If you're tired and drunk and this comes on television, it might be of interest, but it's mid-grade.

This just doesn't cut the line to be feature material. This is television viewing.to be made for a Saturday night movie special.not for a feature. The direction was a mess, that if it had been made immediately after the previous, would make much more sense and be much more interesting. The dialog was very bad - especially near the end. There was little intensity and for the most part it was really dragging. Who would think that this 20 year old looking kid would be a DETECTIVE? Why were store security guards carrying guns?
