- nsaf2410 mei 2026Special effects are great (which saves the film), but story drags on and ending is dissappointing. A bit of a voyouristic movie at best.
- Richard21 oktober 2025I saw Hollow Man in the cinema and walked out with a strange cocktail of awe and unease. Technically, it was dazzling, Verhoeven’s team pushed CGI to new heights, rendering invisibility with a level of detail that felt almost surgical. Kevin Bacon’s transformation sequence? Still etched in my memory. Skin peeling away, organs fading, bones dissolving, it was like watching a biology textbook come to life and then vanish. But once the effects wore off, I was left staring at a hollow core. The film promised sci-fi thrills and moral complexity, but delivered a descent into voyeurism and violence that felt more mean spirited than meaningful. The tension was there, sure, but so was a creeping discomfort. Not the good kind. Sitting in that theater, I kept waiting for the story to justify its darkness. Instead, it leaned into it. Bacon’s character spirals from arrogant genius to invisible predator and while the cast (Elisabeth Shue, Josh Brolin) did their best to anchor the chaos, the script seemed more interested in shock than substance. Knowing now that Verhoeven himself regrets making it adds a layer of melancholy. He’s said the film lacked his usual satirical bite, that it was too conventional, too studio bound. And I felt that. It didn’t have the wild provocation of RoboCop or the gleeful excess of Starship Troopers. It was slick, cold and strangely joyless. A visually groundbreaking but emotionally vacant thriller. Seeing it in the cinema was like watching a master technician build a haunted house, only to realize he forgot to add the soul. Even Verhoeven wishes he’d taken a different path, and honestly? So do I.
