Filthy fun, if not much more.

An eminently watchable B-movie nightmare.

TNT RoughCut
The film becomes so much urgent nonsense, its killing spree neither cheaply thrilling nor even more cheaply cathartic. It's only gory.

New York Daily News
Might have worked as a sex comedy, certainly as porn. But as a suspense thriller, it's creepy for all the wrong reasons.

Hollow Man can think of nothing more interesting to do than spy on his girlfriend and assault his neighbor.Too bad. Really too bad, because the movie is supported by some of the most intriguing special effects I've seen.

New York Post
Boasts special effects that are really spectacular - too bad it lacks flesh-and-blood characters.

Village Voice
Gleefully confrontational in its ludicrous, pulpy tawdriness.

Variety
Pic's future as a cult item is a sure bet.

Miami Herald
Turns resoundingly dumb in its last 40 minutes.

Portland Oregonian
A special-effects-and-chase-to-the-death movie, with little special about it.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
It is relatively suspenseless and often distastefully crude.

Rolling Stone
Verhoeven, who inflicted "Showgirls" on us, skips the provacative questions raised by invisibility and goes straight to rape and murder.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Verhoeven's most deeply disturbing film yet.

Marc Caro
The folks who made this movie apparently had nothing inside their heads, either.

TV Guide
This mean-spirited invisible man movie tries to hide its poverty of fresh ideas behind a load of state-of-the-art special effects.

Austin Chronicle
A boisterous, gooey miscue.

LA Weekly
If only the rest of the movie were as good as its cast.

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

San Francisco Chronicle
Might be a blast of ridiculous fun -- the way truly bad movies tend to be -- if it weren't so noxious and reprehensible.

Charlotte Observer
A painful bore.

Baltimore Sun
How can we make the entire movie disappear?

Christian Science Monitor
This is fatuous twaddle with a nasty, misogynistic edge.

Boston Globe
Should have been an inaudible man movie. Every time the characters open their mouths, they hammer it deeper into the ground.

Chicago Reader
It's not terribly interesting on the subject.

One wonders if the only original directors left are the obsessives and the freaks. This guy qualifies on both counts.

San Francisco Examiner
A terribly bad movie, one of the worst of its kind in recent years.

The New York Times
Endure the long, slow, unraveling of this movie, which can't even muster the intelligence to be pretentious or the bravado to be amusingly bad.

Time
Too many special effects, many of them stomach churning; too much pornographically arranged death.

Dallas Observer
Ultimately it's an ugly, insipid rape fantasy, nothing more.

Definitely stuck in the fourth grade.

We don't even have Joe Eszterhas to blame for this one.

Los Angeles Times
Despite a wealth of special effects...this movie is surprisingly inert, more dull than anything else, with little to recommend it on any level.

Maybe Kevin Bacon can use the Twinkie defense to explain Hollow Man.

Turns into a moronic, psycho-on-the-loose picture pretty quickly.
