Determined to achieve the ultimate breakthrough, Caine pushes his team to move to the next phase — using himself as the subject. The test is a success, but when the process can't be reversed and Caine seems doomed to future without flesh, he starts to turn increasingly dangerous.

Top Critics Reviews
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.

fresh:
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.

Hollow Man is just that -- a hollow excuse for a movie.
