Hollow Man
A Movie Review |
|
 |
There were two reasons why I wanted to see "Hollow Man."
One was that I think Kevin Bacon is a great actor and would
be good as a twisted invisible man, deviant and mean. The
other was that ever since "Adventures in Babysitting," I
think Elisabeth Shue is one of the best and hottest
actresses out there and I hoped she would get naked. Well,
Kevin didn’t disappoint, and even though Ms. Shue
didn’t get naked, she was still great in her role and
wore some nice underwear.
Kevin Bacon plays Sebastian, a scientist, who along with
his team, has been hired by the government to develop a way
to change the light spectrum of a person so that they are
invisible. The team has found the key to becoming invisible,
the problem is that they haven’t found the way to
reverse the process, thereby making the subject visible
again. Well, one night, Sebastian believes he has found the
key to the reversing process, it’s time for the test on
the gorilla who has been made invisible, and in one of the
coolest special effects sequences I have ever scene, we get
to see the invisible gorilla become visible again.
Sebastian isn’t happy, though, because he knows if
he tells the government he has found the reversing process,
well, they will take over the project, delay human trials,
and he won’t be able to be the first human to become
invisible. So he convinces Linda (Shue) and her partner that
he should be the first invisible man and they lie to the
rest of the scientific team that the government had approved
Sebastian being the first human trial.
All goes well on the making invisible part, but alas, the
reversal process doesn’t work (I guess humans and
gorillas aren’t that close in the gene pool), and
Sebastian quickly goes more crazy while stuck in
invisibleness. He hates being invisible until he realizes
the freedom it gives him, and when his co-workers realize
that Sebastian has turned evil, well, they realize he must
be stopped before he can escape.
Alright, sure, there are some stupid things in this plot
like why didn’t Sebastian just stay outside the
compound the first time, but then I guess we wouldn’t
have the big fight scene at the end nor the ingenuity of
Linda making a giant electromagnet. With that "Hollow Man"
could have opted for more originality than seeing chicks
naked and killing the General who could stand in your way of
freedom, and, oh yea, the love triangle of Sebastian, Linda,
and the other co-worker, but it kept things simple and just
had Linda make sure she would kill Sebastian (so much for
the sequel). But, "Hollow Man" did have some quality nudity,
some quality kills, and Elisabeth Shue in her underwear.
With that it’s 3 ½ stars out of 5 for "Hollow
Man." The movie isn’t bad, kinda what you would expect,
the effects are incredible, and you also get some to see
some boobs and a quality tire iron shoved through the body.
What more do you want!
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the
Right!! L8R!!! |
