Hollow Man 2 (2006)
I was quite surprised how much i enjoyed this fast paced sequel to Paul Verhoeven's 2000 hit.
Christian Slater takes over the title role from Kevin Bacon and its action all the way. Slater is in it from the first scenes (Well kind of in it, you don't see much of him really) and we are straight into the story. The Hollow Man's appearance is explained in a brief flashback around the middle of the film, so the film isn't cluttered with back story explanation. The effects are pretty good and the characters likable.
The main difference between this and the original is the genre of film. Verhoeven made a creepy Invisible Man horror film whereas this is more of an action film with added sci-fi elemants.
A film i'll definitely be revisiting sooner rather than later.
