Anatomy 2
A smartly shot sequel that stakes out its own territory as it ratchets up more action-oriented thrills than the original.
Barnaby Metschurat plays the young, idealistic intern Jo, who lets himself be drawn into a bizarre research project headed by Professor Müller-LaRousse (Herbert Knaup), a man as brilliant as he is unscrupulous. Jo dreams of helping his brother, who suffers from muscular dystrophy and for whom medicine has had little to offer. Soon Jo becomes a member of the professor's close-knit team of researchers, which includes the attractive, adventurous Viktoria (Heike Makatsch), nervous Sven (Frank Giering) and the sycophant Hagen (Roman Kni~ka). Their work on artificial muscle strands seems to hold great promise for his brother, but when Jo realizes the project requires the researchers to conduct dangerous experiments on themselves, he starts down a dangerous road from which there may be no return.
