Editorial Review:
Entering a seamy underground world of peep shows, nude clubs and live Internet sex is David Huxley (Johnathon Schaech, Hush), an aspiring politician who has everything to lose. Secretly filmed in a steamy three-way with his fiancée Tish (Lori Heuring, Mulholland Dr.) and a gorgeous young model (Zita Görög, Underworld), David is desperate to find the extortionist who’s demanding an exorbitant amount of money for the negatives. But when the blackmail trail ends in murder and David’s kidnapped, Tish must come up with a $5 million ransom or her fiancé’s once-promising career, and life, may come to a dead end.
8MM2 Reviews:
jonathan schaech 
2009-06-22 - what happened to jonathan schaech? he's so good looking. was married to christina applegate, had a few good movies. I was surprised to see him in this B movie, which I caught on late night cable.
didn't like the movie because some of the decisions the couple made were so stupid, they ended up as annoying and make you end up feeling that they deserve whatever's coming to them because of their dumb choices and decisions.
halfway through the movie, it became too obvious what the ending would be.
slow, boring, obvious, not thrilling.
I hope jonathan schaecher makes a career comeback one of these days
Pretty Idiots in Moronic Plot
2009-05-24 - First off, this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the Nicolas Cage movie called 8MM. Nothing. Not even anything that uses 8mm film. That movie wasn't good but it had an intriguing idea: Cage plays someone tracking down the killers of a girl murdered in a snuff film. (If you haven't seen it, don't bother: it's not good. For a concept with a sex/violence theme, the original 8MM is a dark, lame movie where Nicolas Cage mugs in a dark, lame scenario populated with sleazy perverts and dirty grotesques. It is easily the unsexiest movie about a sexual crime ever).
I just caught 8MM 2 on late night cable (where it belongs). It might as well have been NIGHT EYES 9. Or any of the other late night, "Skin-a-max" softcore films.
This one only excels at how dumb a script can get. The characters are so stupid that you will laugh at their ideas about solving their problems. A couple needs to find a stripper/porn actress so they get the brilliant idea of getting the girl to apply as a stripper--keep in mind she is the daughter of the U.S. Ambassador. She goes through the process of becoming a stripper, even being led back to do some Internet porn (which she chickens out of) before the guy (who works for her Ambassador dad) forces his way back and beats up a bouncer.
Why go into this? Because as they escape the strip club, the guy says all he had to do was ask another stripper where the porn actress was they were looking for and he got her address...which was the most logical way to get it that they didn't think of ten minutes ago.
Every sequence feels like it came from another movie...where it made more sense.
Good excuse to have copious footage of beautiful nude girls.
Just makes for a incredibly stupid story.
better than I had expected - actually caught me by surprise. 
2008-04-28 - My review title basically says it all. I was expecting this movie to just be a T & A extravaganza with no actual substance. I was wrong. I guess it could have turned out that way, except for the very good acting by the two leads. They carried the story through to the end; and the end was such a surprise... I'm usually pretty good at figuring out "whodunits" halfway through the movie. This one got me. By the end I had expected one of two people to be the perpetrator, but it was someone completely different. You'll have to watch it to find out who. Great ending to a good, but not incredible, movie
the original was better 
2007-10-22 - this was ok. Not as tense and taut as the original. Different story, acting was amaturish. Loved the ending though. enjoy!
not what you might expect
2007-07-09 - This movie has many twists and turns, quite a bit of graphic sex, it takes place in Budapest, which has an international reputation for all sorts of adult pleasures. But there's more to this than just a bunch of different sex scenes, there is a genuine thriller of a story and an ending that makes you say, "Now that was good flick."
