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

Hollow Man makes its second debut on DVD care of Columbia's Superbit Deluxe line of movies on two discs. The film is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and looks absolutely fantastic. With solid black levels and slick color schemes, this is a stunningly well-produced transfer that includes nary an imperfection or defect. Fans will be very pleased with how crisp this image looks. The soundtrack is floating in the same boat as the video transfer. Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround as well as DTS 5.1 Surround, both in English, each of these soundtracks feature a multitude of directional effects and surround sounds throughout the entire length of the film. Enveloping the viewer in the world of invisibility, both the video and audio portions of this disc should make anyone with a home theater system very happy. Also included on this disc are English, Chinese, French, Thai, Portuguese, and Spanish subtitles. This deluxe version of the film features a second disc that is full of extra materials (though the commentary track by the director has been excluded from this release). Starting off the supplements is an interesting HBO making of featurette titled "Anatomy of a Thriller." The feature is a short, fluffy look at the making of the film that includes interviews with that cast and crew. Some picture-in-picture comparisons allow the viewer to look at some footage before post-production effects were added in. Some deleted scenes are included that allow a glimpse at what was left on the cutting room floor. A few of these alternate/deleted scenes are interesting, though most were deservedly cut from the final film. No less than 15 featurettes are on this disc (including "The Underground Lab," "Digital Body Parts Montage," "Reversion Progressions," and more), each running anywhere from less than two minutes to nearly six minutes long. These short clips allow the viewer yet another peek behind the special effects department's curtain. Finally there are a few director and actor filmographies, plus a teaser trailer and theatrical trailer for the film. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
