Hollow Man

Starring: Kevin Bacon, Elisabeth Shue, and Josh Brolin

Directed by: Paul Verhoeven

Synopsis:  Three scientists conduct experiments for the government on invincibility. Turning someone invisible was easy, but getting them back was the hard part. When Kevin Bacon finally perfects the formula, they decide rather to report to the government the success of the operation, Bacon would be the first human experiment. When the formula fails, Bacon slowly loses his mind and the power of being invisible drives him to rape and murder.

My Thoughts: Before I even saw this movie, I knew what to expect from it being a Verhoeven (Starship Troopers, Basic Instinct, RoboCop) film: superior special effects, gratuitous violence, and lots of nudity. That's exactly what you get from this movie. But that stuff is OK because this is a really cool movie.  

Score: 7 out of 10
