Review of Hollow Man

Hollow Man (2000)
A Movie Hollow Inside
20 September 2003
There was a time when Kevin Bacon made good movies like Footloose, and Tremors. Sadly those times are gone, and he's stuck making mediocre movies like Stir of Echoes, and a movie I loathe with a passion, Hollow Man.

For some reason I hated every character in this movie. Villains and heroes alike. I had no bias, I just wanted them all dead. Luckily the movie had enough senseless brutality to make me happy.

Although the characters were unlikable, the special effects were amazing, things disappeared and reappeared like nobody's business. Gorillas, puppies, Kevin Bacon, shrews, you name it, it was gone.

Still, as is the case with most of the movies I watch, the special effects can't save it. The characters just detract to much from the movie. That, and the plot has a been there, done that feel to it. If you want to watch an "invisible man goes psycho" movie, then watch The Invisible Man. Or The Invisible Man Returns. Or The Invisible Man's Revenge. Or just watch Goodfellas.

Maybe Kevin Bacon will be back for Tremors IV: Attack of the Killer Graboids.
