While Darkman is perfecting an artificial skin that will restore his old appearance, Durant inexplicably returns to torment him. Overcome by rage, Darkman disguises himself with the artificial skin, setting out to infiltrate Durant's world and bring him to justice.

Critics Consensus

Without the gothic melodrama and berserk wit of its predecessor, Darkman II: The Return of Durant struggles to rise above its made-for-video roots despite flashes of fun and admirable cinematic ambition.

Arnold Vosloo inherits Neeson's Darkman role and treats it quite well. Bradford May directs with a big-screen attitude, transcending the sequel's made-for-video origins.

Not quite as good as the first but still worth the watch. Four stars.
