Rotten
Despite a wealth of special effects and direction by Paul Verhoeven, Mr. Over-the-Top himself, this movie is surprisingly inert, more dull than anything else, with little to recommend it on any level.

Is a combo of thrills, juicy one-liners and fine star turns by Kevin Bacon and Elisabeth Shue.

Ultimately the title is most revealing. It's hollow, man.

Paul Verhoeven has in Hollow Man come up with a movie empty of purpose.
