The invisible man strikes again. This time the villain (played by Christian Slater’s voice and in a couple of spots by his body as well) is a mercenary rendered transparent by a sinister government conspiracy. They give this assassin a drug to make him invisible, then for some reason they deny him the “buffer” drug that will keep him from developing cancer and/or going insane. Naturally he goes after the only two possible sources for the stuff: the company that made him what he is and the doctor who developed the buffer. The script doesn’t amount to much, the acting is standard but no more, and the direction gets the job done but fails to impress. And though I can guess why they did it, the filmmakers chose to include some completely superfluous nudity. Overall this is neither as clever nor as offensive as the first one. See if desperate
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
