Critic Reviews

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

Filthy fun, if not much more.

J. Hoberman

Gleefully confrontational in its ludicrous, pulpy tawdriness. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Turns resoundingly dumb in its last 40 minutes.

Lawrence Toppman

A painful bore. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

How can we make the entire movie disappear?

G. Allen Johnson

A terribly bad movie, one of the worst of its kind in recent years.

Charles Taylor

I haven't had a worse time at the movies this summer. Read full review

I really am surprised at the negative reviews because this is one of my favourites growing up and still is. Kevin Bacon leads a very solid cast with a great twist on the invisible man story. I loved it.

Paul Verhoevan's Hollow Man is a take on HG Wells's Invisible Man but with much gore, nudity and evil. Hehe, that's the Dutch filmmaker for you- All of Verhoevan's films have been gory and courted controversy and Hollow Man is similar in every way.

Hehe, that's the Dutch filmmaker for you- All of Verhoevan's films have been gory and courted controversy and Hollow Man is similar in every way. Kevin Bacon plays the titular character- a rogue but a charming one and Bacon is probably the finest actors to walk the line between good and rotten evil. Elizabeth Shue, Josh Brolin and a few others play the good conscientious guys, but it isn't long before you start siding with Bacon's character. The special effects are very good, and the invisible scenes were an absolute highlight. There is a scene with a gorilla which is spooky and exhilarating and will probably stay with you long after the film is over. If you are one of those who doesn’t care if the main lead is an antihero, who doesn’t follow the usual tropes of cinema than Paul Verhoevan's Hollow Man would be an interesting film to watch.(Verhoevan's take on The Invisible Man).… Expand

Bad script but decent casting and plot could have and should have been better.

I've seen better and worse films with Mr Bacon. This film is simply another cliched foray into the sci/fi/horror type flick. Truly ordinary in the way it ends with the lacklustre defeat of the (by that stage) poorly computer generated Bacon.

Total Recall and Robocop are classic action movies. This movie doesn't even come close to the quality of these two movies. If you want to see a great thriller with Kevin Bacon watch Stir Of Echoes.
