Os personagens são absurdamente formulaicos, permitindo que o espectador deduza, desde o início, quem irá morrer ou sobreviver ao longo do filme.

Consensus: Despite awesome special effects, Hollow Man falls short of other films directed by Paul Verhoeven. This flick over time degenerates into a typical horror film.

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 seen.

Reviews for Hollow Man
If you liked (insert any Verhoeven film here) you'll love Hollow Man! I didn't, so I don't.
It churns out moderately solid summer fun with enough flourishes to gloss over its disposable nature.
Eye-popping visual effects ... become lost in yet another typical slasher movie.
While it is not nearly as effective as the future-punk social satire of "RoboCop," the subtext of "Hollow Man" still brings a few questions to mind.
You'll realize this is nothing more than a sharp-looking slasher flick, bad one-liners and all.
