Hollow Man is directed by Paul Verovan- the carefree Dutchman who has made some gems like Starship Troopers, Basic Instinct and Total Recall. His films are heavy on gore and sex and this film has amples of both. Hollow Man is a take on the Invisible Man and contains a maverick performance by Kevin Bacon. Ably supported by the likes of Elisabeth Shue and Josh Brolin. This is a movie which, depending on your taste and moral compass, will appeal accordingly. I think this is a brave attempt by everyone from the leads to the director as many people will surely find the film morally lacking.

Hollow Man is about a scientist named Sebastian Caine who has discovered a serum that allows anything to become invisible. The scientists that work for him have also conducted the experiment on animals; with given permission to experiment on Humans. After firstly testing the experiment on himself which is successful, Sebastian then commits crimes which he doesn't get prosecuted for; therefore adores his new life. He then realizes that the other scientists will be aware of his actions and that makes him go on a killing spree. This film is one of the best horror films i have ever seen. This got me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. The cast, action and script is very strong. Good use of CGI too (I know its fake but the CGI did look impressive.) I really like the way the actors work really well with each other in difficult situations. There really was a strong essence within the team.My only downsides is that the movie takes a while to get going. I also didn't understand the whole experiments objectives until the middle of the film. Putting those things a side, it's difficult to find a horror as amazing and intense and Hollow Man. I definitely recommend this title!

Sort of an odd approach for director Paul Vehoeven. It acts as more a normal every day trendy ass Hollywood movie than his unusual approach with left field provocation and ultra violence. Well at least the ultra violence is intact. A little better if viewed in directors cut. But anyways, I liked it. I like the flow of the movie with Bacons character on how he goes from being a normal narcissistic retard to a narcissistic psychopath with a God complex. The effects are cool giving us a sort of accurate vision of the human anatomy and all that $#!+. The only disappointment was that Bacons character didn't kill everyone in this movie because everyone was ****ing annoying. Eh! Can't win them all.

Sometimes I like to watch a disaster movie. Instead, with "Hollow Man", I found a disaster of a movie. And I say that as a person who loves a good horror movie.The basic idea, of course, is a modernization of the old H.G. Wells story. I'm not sure I like the update. This film is about watching Kevin Bacon...I mean Kevin Bacon's character he a total jerk (I was going to use another term, but this is IMDb). The film is also about Kevin Bacon...I mean Kevin Bacon's character be a pervert. The film is about Kevin Bacon's character being a murderer. To be perfectly honest, I pretty much lost all interest in Kevin Bacon after I first saw this film in the theater.There are 2 good things about this film. The first is excellent special effects. The second is seeing Josh Brolin in a very good supporting actor role.The rest of the acting was marginal. Elisabeth Shue was rather shallow for many parts of the film, although okay later in the film when she has more of an action role. Kim Dickens was "okay". Greg Grunberg failed to impress. Joey Slotnick was fairly decent. William Davane was as good as he usually is, although his part was rather small.I know it's science fiction, but in many ways the basic science here is pretty...well...foolish.I will say the conclusion of the film is pretty decent.Overall I don't give this film a G or R rating. PU is more appropriate.
