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

The producers of Hollow Man made a mistake that many films of this nature do, they showed all the good parts in the trailer. The writers could have taken this to many levels but do not. Don't get me wrong I like the film because of the eye candy but the trailer ruined all the good parts.

This movie is one of those that require you to check your brain at the door, But it is still a good popcorn flick. It is kind of suspenseful and has killer visuals the story is only so-so.

SOME OF THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE GREAT. THE CHARACTER IS SUPPOSED TO BE INVISIBLE. FOR SOME REASON THEY DECIDED TO SHOW THE GUYS PACKAGE CONTINUOSLY DURING THE MOVIE. GIVE ME A BREAK. I DID NOT WATCH THIS TO SEE AN OUTLINE OF KEVIN BACON'S PRIVATE PARTS.

One thing that can't be praised enough about `Hollow Man' is the amazing, and I mean A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, special effects that are so believable and so impressive you'd swear that it was real. Sadly, that aside, `Hollow Man' is just that; completely hollow. There is no substance here. `Hollow Man' just serves as a sorry excuse for nudity and violence. I know that complaint sounds strange since this is a horror movie and what else do you expect from a film in this genre other than violence and nudity. ... Read More

What would you do if you had the ability to turn yourself invisible? Would you use it to mess with friends, co-workers, and maybe even neighbors? Or would you try to get into places that you are not normally allowed to go? Or are there some of you out there that would embrace your darker desires and abuse the ability by committing wrongs against others whether they know it or not? I know for me, I would most likely use the ability to mess with others (not in a harmful way, just play tricks on them), ... Read More
