paul verhoeven finally bomb out on this one . he become a joke on himself . once again we have a film which include sex and violence and immorality and leering at woman and lot of attitiude talk between the character and dollying pan . it all for nothing . because their be no action at all in this film . it fudge all it set piece . all the actor give the kind of performance form a verhoeven film . in other word rampant over act on almost every level . starship trooper get away with it because it be such a macho world the character inhabit . in this scientist be act the same way . sorry paul but soldier and scientist be not really make of the same mindset . one major flaw in the plot be that after escape for that one night to do evil thing kevin bacon character then return back to the science lab where we have already spend more then enough time watch these animate manniquens ( elizabeth shue except ) walk and talk . why not show the extent of what the character could do in the outside world . how could they possibly track him if he could be anywhere at all . think o all the different thing that could have be do with this concept and both in term of story and characterisation . then look at what this film do and you really how badly do and concieved the whole project really be . more insulting be the doco on the dvd where everyone be claim that verhoeven be some kind of mad genius . well one out of two isnt that bad . this film have nothing of note in it . just like the title say . hollow .
