MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Hollow Man"

So...Kevin Bacon staring in a movie with Josh Brolin.

That's right, this movie promises us Sebastian Shaw versus Thanos. And delivers!

...wait, does anyone actually remember that First Class happened? Never mind.

Hollow Man is a film from the year 2000, brought to us by the director of Showgirls and Robocop (and there's your daily dose of utter mindscrew for the day) Paul Verhoeven. It's a (then-)modernized take on H.G. Wells' novel, The Invisible Man. It honestly doesn't go too much more beyond that, but it doesn't really need to. It's still a good story that touches on themes of hubris, as well as corruption by scientific progress left unchecked.
