The original Skulls had a brilliant premise, a promising cast, and potential to be a mystery classic of a generation. Unfortunately, the film failed to live up to expectations. Accordingly, making fifty million led to a couple direct to video sequels.
To continue with the "Skulls" mythology, producers tap "sequel actor" Robin Dunne. As evidenced in his sequel work (Cruel Intentions 2, Species III), Mr. Dunne proves that acting, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Wooden, emotionless and boring describes not only the Mr. Dunne's acting, but the film itself. Similar to the first film, instead of developing the nature of secret societies, brotherhood, or a decent "who done it", the viewer is provided the answers without being asked the questions. The film fails to create any tension and essentially repeats the original Skulls film with a few modifications to fulfill a sequel prerequisite rather than remake status.
Skip it.
