Review of Hollow Man (2000) by Robert H — 23 Mar 2015

There's something about this Invisible Man tale for a new generation that just kinda works for me. The CG FX (which are numerous and a mainstay of the film) are dated but still somehow manage to work and not distract too much from the film. Clearly the technology was just good enough to manage to create the needed illusion.

Science and the human psyche are the big evils here. Will man do what's right or as the movie says, "It's amazing what you can do when you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror anymore.".

There are some really good pieces of dialogue in the film which is surprising for a film of this nature which you figure is just going to rely on the visual spectacle.

While Hollow Man doesn't generally fall on many recommend lists out there, I do think everybody should give it at least one go.
