Critic Reviews for The Hollow Point

All Critics (15) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (9)

An over-the-top Ian McShane is the chief selling point for this formulaic neo-noir drama, which also stars Patrick Wilson.

Variety
There's literally nothing in this movie that feels like it arose from an impulse to either entertain or create art.

"The Hollow Point" limps to a close without fully rewarding the effort expended on its making.

New York Times
Really, this is sub-par "Fargo" meets rehashed "No Country for Old Men" ...

Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times
"The Hollow Point" might not reach the hallucinatory heights of a Joel and Ethan Coen thriller, but there's much to admire.

Tom Keogh
Seattle Times
Gonzalo Lpez-Gallego's direction isn't confident enough to allow us to ignore The Hollow Point's contrivances.

Chuck Bowen
Slant Magazine
A brutal blend of modern-day Western and hard-boiled noir, twisty crime thriller.

Jason Best
Movie Talk
The Hollow Point plays like an Asylum version of No Country for Old Men.

Spectrum Culture
Lopez-Gallego spends more time polishing his weapons than he does strengthening editing and building characterization.

A stylish, neo-noir/western with a standout performance by Ian McShane.

JoBlo's Movie Network
The tragedy is that the film ... is so utterly incompetent, so inexcusably bewildering, and so bafflingly hollow.

All the fine actors, narrative subversions and dusty landscapes in the world can't save a film that thinks it's saying a lot without saying much at all.

Audience Reviews for The Hollow Point

Apr 13, 2017

Not the worst and far from a great neo noir thriller but it had great actors doing okay with the shoddy material. This very bleak film could've done with a splash of humour to add something different because the camera work and script is very formulaic.
