7/10
Actually, very intriguing and dark political - sexual oriented sequel.

I have to admit that I'm a huge fan of the original "8 MM". I didn't expect this sequel to be equally good or even half as decent as the original, but I decided to give it a chance because I read it's plot here in IMDb.

The truth is that I ended up liking it big time mainly because it deals with topics that are very interesting for me: politics, sex, promiscuity, threesomes, Europe, guns, and mobs.

Everything gets screwed up for a couple that travels to Europe and after having a steamy visit to a night club and participate in a threesome with a super hot European beauty; they're taped during their threesome and later getting blackmailed by unknown criminals. This leads to a very interesting and bloody investigation.

Some situations include murders, visiting dark places that include prostitution, drugs, and more.

The political point of view is pretty interesting mainly because it deals with labor aspirations, laws, and we can see how corruption works at all levels.

Lori Heuring is extremely sexy and I enjoyed her sex scene. I mean, I enjoyed every single moment she was on screen. ;) The direction is just regular and the cinematography does it's work pretty well. I mean, I always cheer up for the combination of darkness used in colorful settings.

After the ending I thought to myself: "Man, this was a solid entertaining, dark and violent flick, I enjoyed it".

Give it a chance but don't think about the dark masterpiece from 1999.
