Critic Reviews

  • Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

    Despite a wealth of special effects and direction by Paul Verhoeven, Mr. Over-the-Top himself, this movie is surprisingly inert, more dull than anything else, with little to recommend it on any level.

  • Robert Koehler, Variety

    Is a combo of thrills, juicy one-liners and fine star turns by Kevin Bacon and Elisabeth Shue.

  • Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

    Ultimately the title is most revealing. It's hollow, man.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    Women in the audience now have as many bad role models on screen as the men sitting around them.

  • Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune

    Hollow Man is hollow is because there's a void where its imagination should be.

    So so.

    A real wasted opportunity. The story was sound enough but instead of exploring the possibilities of megalomania a person could experience after invisibility they just decided that an egotistical version of Jason would be just as good and no real reason needs to be given as to why a… More

    Very bizarre take on The Invisible Man. To see him as a pervert is something new and unexpected. It has a lot of the same humor as Paul Verhoeven's other films, so if you enjoy them, then you will enjoy this. Kevin Bacon always plays a great psychopath.
