After years of experimentation, Dr. Sebastian Caine, a brilliant but arrogant and egotistical scientist working for the Defense Department, has successfully transformed mammals to an invisible state and brought them back to their original physical form. Now, since he is a scientist/madman he must obviously perform this experiment on... you guessed it, himself.
The invisible Caine finds himself free to do the unthinkable, but his experiment takes an unexpected turn (very unexpected, it's as if you couldn't see right through it) when his team can't bring him back. Caine grows more and more out of control, and it is now up to his dim-witted team-mates (who knows they can see him with specially designed glasses, but never uses them!) to try and stop him.
It all ends in an over-the-top finale with Bacon returning to life a zillion times, because we all know that invisibility equals super human strength. This movie is just like the title predicts, It's hollow, man!
Oh! and Paul, don't you think the big finale could use yet another big explosion?
Investigation finished: 2001-01-08
Story: 3/10 - Very shallow and hollow, you can almost see right through it. Still it is better than Basic Instinct and Showgirls, but that really isn't saying much.
Acting: 3/10 - Kevin Bacon goes from evil to evil, now that's what I call character development. The rest of the bunch are just props.
Violence: 7/10 - What used to be a classic sci-fi tale is now just another hack and slash movie.
Nudity: 5/10 - This is not a flesh feast like most his movies, but the girl next door gets to be naked througout most of her screentime.
Coolness: 4/10 - The effects are over-cool, but besides that it's a total embarrassment for everyone involved.
Skid-marks: 0/10 - Kevin Bacon is a bad motherfucker because he's got a leather jacket and drives his porsche really fast. Maybe Jerry Bruckheimer is secretly involved with this film somehow.
...a litle something from our surveilance?
