Well, I knew it was not going to be a direct sequel to 8mm, but both movies have no connection, which is explained on the DVD extras that this was a stand alone film until the studio head try to make more money by connecting the movies. But I saw the movie without this info, but even after understanding this the movie still is not that good.It's too predictable for me, which made it very cheesy. you can see the ending coming a mile away once the pilot is revealed.I can't say that the acting was bad because it was the very good acting that allowed me to see the ending coming, but the story was lame and too formulated without enough twist and turns to shake me from knowing exactly what's coming.I saw it because I herd it was a good soft-core porn film. Wrong! I've seen better, I've seen a lot better, it's a mediocre erotic thriller, but not good enough to over shadow the formulated story.Skip it!

David Huxley, low-born self-made legal counsel at the US embassy in Budapest, may expect his career to be boosted by his impending marriage to Tish, daughter of old money tycoon and ambassador to Hungary Harrington. But when the happy couple spends a night of hot sex at a spa, including a threesome with an exhibitionist model, they are secretly filmed, and the suspect is found murdered in their hotel. To handle the blackmail, they venture into a sex club where porno movies are made. Tish volunteers to 'act' so David can snoop around, but that only gets them into even greater danger, which ultimately proves most deceptive.Firstly, this has nothing to do with the Cage movie. It's basically a Silk Stalkings sex romp. The sets are lavish. The story is nonexistent. It's actually rather boring. The woman who gets black mailed is a horse faced dog. Not worth your time in the slightest.

I have no idea if it's intentional or not, but the direction, script, and acting throughout the movie was really really bad. But the ending somehow saved it, just a bit. So all in all it's not that bad. There is excessive nudity scattered around, most of which is quite unnecessary IMO. It just ends up looking cheap. Johnathon Schaech is a horrible actor carved out of wood, at least in this movie, I haven't seen or noticed/remember him from other films. Lori Heuring looks gorgeous actually, not just sexy but actually very beautiful. Hopefully she gets more decent roles in the future.And don't even mention the name. 8mm 2 has nothing to do with 8mm whatsoever, they don't even use or mention 8mm tapes at all, it's a disgrace. The movie itself isn't as bad as some make it, so there was no need to use that name and raise peoples' expectations through the roof. 8mm fans should stay away, although I would watch it just for Lori Heuring and she has a nude scene as well (not that it matters to me, as i said before she isn't that sexy but very good looking and decent acting :P ).

In Budapest, the ambitious diplomat and aspirant congressman of poor origin David Huxley (Johnathon Schaech) and his fiancée of wealthy and traditional family Tish Harrington (Lori Heuring) travel to a hotel in Alhambra to spend a weekend together before their marriage. In the hotel, they fantasize and have a threesome with the delicious model Risa (Zita Görög) as part of his bachelor party. When they return to their normal life, they are blackmailed with a porn video of their sexual encounter with Risa. David and Tish go to the pornographic underworld of Budapest trying to retrieve the tapes and avoid a scandal and damage in Tish's father and David's career.I was surprised with "8 mm2", since I was expecting a garbage, but I found it very erotic, amoral, partially predictable, but also attractive thriller. The beginning does not develop the character of David and Tish as it should, but later the viewer begins to understand their motives. David's is clear, since he is ambitious, aiming to climb to a higher social position at any cost, therefore making the plot point in the conclusion of the story partially predictable. But Tish is the great character of his movie, since she is a much sexualized woman, who fantasizes her sexual life playing games with David, and entwined between her fear and curiosity and desire about the underworld of sex and pornography. Due to the strong sexual content and nudity, this movie is recommended for specific audiences. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "8 mm 2"
