This film, produced by Sam Raimi but directed by Bradford May, is my least favorite film of this otherwise fine film series. Arnold Vosloo takes over the reigns of Westlake/Darkman from Liam Neeson and, while trying his darndest, just isn't as good as Neeson was. It's like replacing Peter O'Toole in a sequel of "Lawrence of Arabia" with Charlie Sheen. Larry Drake is really unnessesary(sic) as Durant. The writers should have moved on with a new villian for this film. Kim Delaney is underused and is killed half way through the movie. The only actor who I thought was any good Renee O'Connor. She played vulnerable and tough in a role that helped her land on "Xena" (Raimi cast her in this role after a bit part on "Hercules", than Robert Tapert & Raimi cast her on "Xena"). All in all, this film is poorly written (two other writers wrote "Darkman III", which is much better) and it seems that May points the camera to scantily clad women more than the main characters. Rent this if you need a quick thrill or a fan of the actors.
