Plot: Washington D.C. scientist Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon) is under contract with the U.S. government to formulate a serum which will render human beings invisible. When his test serum makes a laboratory gorilla disappear and then successfully brings her back, Caine decides that it is time for him to be the next guinea pig. He and his team are ecstatic when the serum work. When the antidote fails to work as it did on the gorilla, however, Caine finds himself in the initially enviable, but ultimately horrifying predicament of being permanently undetectable to the human eye. Faced with the opportunity to perpetrate any crime he desires without fear of apprehension, Caine gives in to his basest desires. But when he learns that his that his ex-girlfriend and assistant, Linda McKay (Elisabeth Shue), is involved with their fellow co-worker Matt Kensington (Josh Brolin), Caine goes over the deep end, and is willing to kill anyone who tries to stand in his way, including his trusted fellow researchers. Director Paul Verhoeven (BASIC INSTINCT) puts a contemporary spin on the classic INVISIBLE MAN tale, turning it into a funhouse-style stalk-and-slash film with some of the most impressive visual effects the screen has

"Hollow Man" is a film of two parts, with part two belonging to another, less original film.  --Michael Thomson (BBC Films)
Hollow Man is a tragic waste of brilliantly realized visual effects. Like both its title and our anti-hero, Sebastian Cane (Kevin Bacon), this is a film that’s nothing more than a shell with little worthwhile inside. 59/100--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
Mad Scientist works out how to become invisible and reeks mayhem on his co-workers. An invisible gorilla helps things a long too!.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
First ask what a good actor like Bacon is wasting his time with this for, then wonder why director Verhoeven keeps picking poor choices for his movies and finally question a finale with so many implausibilites and stupid moments and you'll come to the conclusion that this is one lame Hollywood made horror/sci-fi.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
