In this sci-fi thriller, a man and a woman must fend off a killer whom they cannot see. Scientist Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon) is working with a secret military research team headed by Dr. Kramer (William Devane), assigned to create new intelligence technology. With the help of his colleagues Linda McKay (Elisabeth Shue) and Matt Kensington (Josh Brolin), Sebastian has been developing a serum that makes people invisible. The formula is new and unstable, but after a risky but successful test on an ape, an impatient Sebastian, under pressure from Kramer, decides to try it on himself. It works, but no one counted on the side effects; unable to reverse the serum's effects, an invisible Sebastian goes insane, and begins pursuing Linda (his former girlfriend) and Matt (Linda's current beau) in a fog of homicidal rage. Directed by Paul Verhoeven, Hollow Man also features Kim Dickens, Mary Randle, Joey Slotnick, and Greg Grunberg. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Kevin Bacon and Robocop director Paul Verhoeven teamed up for this invisible-man story, which arrives on DVD in a special edition courtesy of Columbia/TriStar. It's a splendid package, with plenty to offer. The film itself is presented in a 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic format. It is an impressive transfer, with strong depth and clarity. The sound is also noteworthy. Dolby Digital 5.1 is used to full effect here, especially during the harrowing lab sequences or the pell-mell chase at the end. The DVD also offers a mountain of extras, including three deleted scenes and a commentary by Bacon, Verhoeven, and screenwriter Andrew Marlowe. There are also a ton of short featurettes. Clocking in at a few minutes each, they provide details about various effects sequences and other behind-the-scenes info. Viewers are also treated to a before-and-after look at three key scenes in the movie, as well as the usual trailers and bios. Regardless of what one thinks of the film itself, the Hollow Man DVD is worth a look. The excellent picture and sound, combined with the bounty of extras, make this a special edition that lives up to its promise. ~ Jeremy Brown, All Movie Guide
