Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Console best movie i've ever seen.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

didiermustntdie I believe the production value is OK..probably deserves a 4/10 or 5/10.it's traditionally filmed,featuring good looking people with model quality and a little class..but the premise let me annoyed..a decent woman would do such dirt? I mean she is gonna marry a man who would have sex with another woman? and what's more serious she is also active in the behavior...... only in de Laclos's mind....the film also have many aspects that makes Eastern Europeans seem immoralafter all, it's just movie, if it doesn't intend to degrade women in general, I will give one more point..but obviously, it doesconclusion: a nasty piece of crap with a little taste

sol **SPOILER ALERT** The film "8MM 2" has nothing at all to do with the original "8MM" movie about the snuff movie industry in America. This new and followup version of the 1999 thriller is about the blackmail of an American couple in Budapest Hungary.Young and ambitious David Huxley, Johnathon Schaech, has not only become a successful defense attorney but the counsel to the chief of the US Embassy in Budapest Ambassador Harrington, Bruce Davidson. David is also engaged to Ambassador Harrington's daughter Tish, Lori Heuring. Spending a weekend at the exclusive Alhambra Spa outside of Budapest David and Tish end up getting involved in an erotic "Manaja Twa" with a guest at the spa the sexy model Risa, Zita Gorog, who it later turns out is a high class hooker.It isn't long that David gets in his mail an envelope, without a return address, of photos of him his fiancée Tish and Risa doing their thing in bed and in living color. Faced with having his career in politics ruined, if Tish's father finds out, David together with Tish decide to pay off the blackmailer with what he demands: $200,000.00 in US currency. The arraigned pay-off, at a deserted amusement park, backfires with the blackmailer ending up dead, David shot him, and the cash back where it belongs; David Huxley's bank account.Just when it looks like both David & Tish are out of the woods the Budapest Police Department, through Det. Kovack played by Barna Illyes, finds evidence that David was involved with the person who blackmailed him! The blackmailer's body was discovered by the police with a business card that he had on him that David gave him! There's also this mysterious caller, the dead blackmailer's partner, who still keeps calling David demanding that he now pay $1,000,000.00 if he doesn't want the sexy photos of him as well as Tish & Risa be made public!Back to square one David and Tish feel that the only way they can keep from being blackmailed is to find the elusive Risa whom they feel can lead them, and the police, to the blackmailer. This gives them, and us in the audience, the opportunity to see the seedy side of Budapest in the endless sex clubs and bordellos's that David and Tish search out to find the disappeared hooker. The movie starts to get a bit ridicules with Tish in order to track down Risa volunteers, with her fiancée's David going along with it, to infiltrate a notorious sex club as a nude dancer. This hair-brained idea on both Tish and David's part leads to David ending up getting kidnapped with the blackmailer upping his ante to 5 million dollars.:One million for the photos and four million for David's life!***SPOILERS*** It's only the surprise ending of the movie that's about the only thing worth watching in it. It's then that we see what all this blackmailing murder and kidnapping was really all about. Money is the root of all evil as the Bible says and it was money, five million dollars worth of it, that drove people, in the film, to do the most outrageous things imaginable. Outrageous enough to drive those who aren't crazy to completely lose their minds! Like the final moments of the film so clearly demonstrated!

Rob Gregory Browne J.S. Cardone has been putting out little gems like this one for years now. I think he has a great story sense and a great eye as a director. He always manages to make these lower budget movies look very classy and this one is no exception.Was the plot predictable and sometimes improbable? To some degree, yes. But ultimately it doesn't matter, because you have a good time following these two as they take their journey through the dark side of Budapest. The sex and nudity may be a bit too much for some, but I found it tasteful and artistically managed.I think it's a shame this thing was tagged 8mm2. It would likely have been treated better by the reviewers here if it had been called something else, since it obviously has no relationship to 8mm, which, I think, is an inferior movie.I've tried to make it a point to find as many Cardone films (either written or directed) as I can. Frankly, being a novelist myself, I would love one day to see Cardone adapt one of my books. Unfortunately, that's not something I have control over...

Alex-372 This movie has nothing to do with the sanctimonious sleaze-pot, starring Nicholas Cage. At the time, I thought the movie was pretty bad, however, this is infinitely worse.The actresses are cute, and as an 'erotic thriller', it is passable, but it has nothing to do with the 'Heart Of Darkness' theme that the original 8mm barely pulled off.Add to that, that this movie is shot somewhere in Eastern Europe (cheap locations, low wages, etc.) and this is bottom of the barrel. Nothing bad about Eastern Europe, which is beautiful and I'm sure there are great people living there too, however, after the slew of Steven Seagal low budgeters, these particular locations are like a red flag for this video fan. Now if they actually involved the location into the storyline, instead of just using them as a backdrop...
