unfortunately and one of the best effort yet make in the area of special effect have be make completely pointless by be place alongside a lumbering and silly and equally pointless plot and an inadequate and clichéd screenplay . hollow man be a rather useless film . practically everything see here have be do to death the character and the idea and the action sequence ( especially the lift shaft . ) with the only genuinely intriguing element of the film be the impressive special effect . however and it be just the same special effect do over and over again and and by the end of the film that have be do to death also . i be hop before watch hollow man that the invisible man theme and which be hardly original in itself and would be the basis of something new and more interesting . this be not so . it isn not long before the film turn into an overly familiar blood bath and mass of ineffectual histrionics the mound of clichés pile up so fast that it almost impressive . on top of all this and kevin bacon do a pretty useless job and his supporting cast be hardly try their best . good point might be a passable jerry goldsmith score ( but no competition for his good effort ) and a quite interesting use of thermal imagery and the special effect . i be tempt to give this film three out of ten and but the effect push hollow man merit up one notch . 4/10 .
