Movie Reviews of Hollow ManMovie Review: This movie is a big disappointment! Summary: 1 StarsThe trailer made this movie out to be better than it really was. This movie is the only movie I can say is worse than Troll 2 at least Troll 2 didn't have the pretense of being an awesome movie. This movie had a theatrical release and an awesome trailer so there is no excuse for this movie to suck!
Hollowman had awesome special effects and high caliber actors how come it's such a worthless piece of crap?
Oh because the script much like the title is practically non-existent!
Summary of Hollow ManKevin bacon and elisabeth shue play former lovers who along with a team of other scientists like themselves discover the secret of invisibility. Bacon volunteers to be the guinea pig but then uses the power to wreak havoc on unsuspecting victims. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Kevin Bacon Josh Brolin Run time: 113 minutes Rating: R Director: Paul Verhoeven In Paul Verhoeven's appropriately shallow Hollow Man, Kevin Bacon plays a bad-boy egotistical scientist who heads up a double-secret government team experimenting with turning life-forms invisible. How do we know he's a bad boy? Because he (a) wears a leather overcoat, (b) compares himself to God, (c) drives a sports car, and (d) spies on his comely next-door neighbor while eating Twinkies. Sadly, this is the most character development anyone gets in this undernourished action/sci-fi thriller, which boasts some amazing special effects and some amazingly ridiculous plot twists. After experimenting rather ruthlessly on a menagerie of lab animals, Bacon finally cracks the code that will turn the invisible gorillas, dogs, and so on, back into their visible forms. Does it work on humans? Faster than you can say "six degrees," Mr. Bacon appoints himself human guinea pig, strapping down for an injection of fluorescent-colored serum. Thanks to some phenomenal, seamless and Oscar-worthy computer effects, Bacon is indeed rendered invisible, organ by organ, vein by vein. And what's the first thing you'd do if you were invisible? Why, spy on your female coworkers in the bathroom and molest your comely next-door neighbor, of course! Soon, Bacon is thoroughly psychotic, and it's up to Elisabeth Shue (Bacon's coworker and ex-girlfriend) and hunky Josh Brolin (her current snuggle bunny) to defeat the invisible man, who's picking off the science team one by one. You'd think this would be a prime opportunity for copious amounts of cheesy sex and aggressive violence--which Verhoeven served up so well and so exuberantly in Starship Troopers and Basic Instinct--but if anything, the director seems to tone down the proceedings, and really, who wants a muted Paul Verhoeven movie? Shue (who got top billing and a bad haircut to boot) and Brolin (who, yes, does take off his shirt at least once) generate little heat, and while Bacon does give an effective, primarily voice-oriented performance, his character is so underdeveloped that, well, you can see right through him. --Mark Englehart
