Description: Cocky researcher Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon) is a working on a project to make living creatures invisible. He's so confident he's found the right formula that he tests it on himself and begins to vanish. Problem is, no one can figure out how to make him visible again. Soon his invisibility drives Caine mad -- with terrifying results. The special effects are a knockout as Caine fades away organ by organ in director Paul Verhoeven's thriller.
My Promulgation: Hollow Man...aka Hollow Movie. Ok, I gotta agree, the special effects were good. Even the story line was plausable, however at the end, it just got amazingly stupid. So, I looked up Paul Verhoeven's movies. No wonder. Let me list a few of them out. Basic Instinct - Bluck. Showgirls - Stupid. RoboCop - OK, Total Recall - Decent, Starship Troopers - 2nd Worst SciFi movie I've ever seen. I mean how could he ruin something based upon a Heinlein book? Anyway, even with Kevin Bacon, the most famous nobody in Hollywood, this gets 1 star.
I like renting movies to watch @ home, but let's be honest, most of them suck. However there is an occasional gem, so why should you wade through the crap? No in depth verbose commentary, or incredibly witty insight, just me mouthing off. I use NetFlix for my DVD rental, and so should you. They rule.
