Sebastian
Cain is a brilliant and extremely arrogant young scientist, he
has been able to create a formula that allows the body to turn
itself invisible. There is, however, a drawback to the process,
the longer anything stays invisible the more hostile and aggressive
it becomes. After being told he cannot have any human subjects,
with the help of his team, Cain injects himself with the serum.
After the initial experiment and a few hours of observation, the
group begins to try and reverse the process. After nearly falling
into cardiac arrest, Cain can not be brought back to the visible
world, now with the clock ticking Cain and his scientist must
try to cure Cain before madness sets in.
Directed by Paul Verhoven, Hollow Man is an exciting and
thrilling spin on The Invisible Man.
Sebastian Cain is played by Kevin Bacon, who as always does a
terrific job. Bacon plays Cain as the cocky scientist you love
to hate, but at times you will also generally like the character.
We also get Elisabeth Shue as Dr. Linda McKay, who was and may
still be linked to Cain in a romantic relationship. Also Josh
Brolin stars as Matt Kengingston, Sebastian's more moral
companion.
The effects in Hollow Man are top notch. The transformation scenes
are very well done, although personally I like when they try to
make him reappear better. From the moment he gets the injection
you can watch as the serum goes clear through his body. There
is a lot of "shape" effects however, by that I mean
you see Cain in water, smoke or frost. There is also a great scene
where Linda throws a bag of blood on Cain and it bust and runs
over his face and body, it creates a very creepy and nasty image.
Hollow Man gives great effects, stellar cast and quite a decent
story. You also get some breast and a little bit of the stocky
Ms. Shue in her bra and panties. And NFlames and the ladies don't
feel to left out because you even get to see some of Bacon's
schlong in the first reforming sequence, so be sure to pause your
DVD players.
