Sketch Artist II: Hands That See

Like others, I wonder why someone thought a sequel to SKETCH ARTIST would be a good idea, since the original went direct to video (I FF my way through it on PRIME's MGM channel). Kind of fun watching cops use pay phones & mumble about 'blood types' in the early 90's (No widespread cell phones or DNA technology yet).

But Mr Fahey does a good offbeat character & we get to see Ms. Cox close to the time she played the fake wife on Seinfeld. Here, she is a blind rape victim who can describe the assailant from touching his face during the assault. The guy appears to be a serial attacker who leaves no DNA behind anyway, making it tough for even a modern Forensics team. He also killed the other viciously, meaning Courtney was fortunate her husband came home in time.

Another holdover character is the MR STRICKLAND guy from Back to the Future, wearing the same suit? Talk about typecast--a crabby Homicide Captain. Anyway, this is decent timefiller, with less fast-forwarding than #1 for PG content, and a little more suspense, as the bad guy starts stalking poor Ms Cox . Is he worried she saw something?
