Manthast Absolutely amazing
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
bettycjung 6/19/18. I thought it would be all right because Patrick Wilson was in it. But, I guess everyone is entitled to making a dud every once in awhile. Could have been better.
Paul Magne Haakonsen With the premise of this being a crime thriller, I must admit that I had very little expectations to the movie, especially since that particular genre is flooded with a lot of very generic movies.However, it turned out that "The Hollow Point" was actually quite an entertaining and interesting movie to watch. Especially so, since the story was well-constructed and the acting performances really promoted the story quite well in transition from script to on-screen.It was perhaps the brutality of the storyline that appealed to me. Because this was not your average cops against criminals story. And the storyline was really helped nicely along the way by some interesting and detailed characters.The movie was really nicely carried by Patrick Wilson, and it was a nice surprise to see him excel at a genre like this, and that proves that he is actually quite a diverse actor. Furthermore, it was also really nice to see Ian McShane, John Leguizamo and Jim Belushi in the movie as well. It was a shame, though, that John Leguizamo didn't have a bigger role, because his character could really have been so interesting to get to see more of. There were some good acting performances from everyone in the movie, which really added to the overall enjoyment of the movie."The Hollow Point" was indeed an entertaining movie, and it was a good surprise how nice the movie actually turned out to be.However, while this movie is entertaining, I doubt that the movie is one that I will watch a second time, because it just didn't have enough contents to support more than a single viewing. That doesn't make it a poor movie, just that once you have seen this the first time, there is nothing to support additional viewings.My rating for "The Hollow Point" is a solid 6 out of 10 stars.
LeonLouisRicci We are Once Again at the American-Mexican Border where Cartels make the already Living Hell Environment more of a Living Hell, Employing Soulless Killers and Corrupting the Weak and Dying that have Lost Their Hope and Dreams of an Existence with God By Their Side.This is an Above Average DTV with a First-Rate Noir Cast Featuring Patrick Wilson, Ian McShane, Jim Belushi, and John Leguizamo.The Violence is Brutal and an Urgency is Felt as the Townsfolk Duck and Cover from the Flying Bullets and Nastiness all around. The Movie is Shot in a Dusty, Sun Drenched Landscape of Endless Horizons, Trailer Parks, Sleazy Environs, and Unfinished, Abandoned Home Constructions.It Wears its Neo-Noir Bona-Fides with Pride and if it wasn't for the Incomprehensible Script and Sloppy, Lazy Montage it would Rank as one of the Better in the Genre.But its Pulpy Style is Burdened with God-Awful Storytelling that leaves the Viewer in a constant state of Confusion trying Desperately to Figure What the Hell is Going On most of the time.What is Going On is Visceral and Engaging for B-Movie Fans that Love the Style and don't give much of a Damn about Substance. For those Folks Kick Back and Enjoy the Sleaze. For Others, it is just too Befuddling to give a High Recommendation. It's Definitely Worth a Watch for the Lead Actors, Violence, and Style.The Movie, however, Never quite Comes Together and the Love Interest Scenes, along with the general Storytelling are Woefully Weak and just Awful.
Wizard-8 While "The Hollow Point" never got to the point of really annoying or boring me - there always remains a kernel of interest at any point - all the same I can't recommend it. The cast isn't to blame for the movie's failure; they all give professional performances. And director Gonzalo Lopez-Gelego does put in some effective violence and brutality here and there. The blame mainly lies with the script. While I will give the script some kudos for putting in a few unexpected developments here and there, the story gets more confusing as it goes along. For example, one character ends up handcuffed by the local law enforcers to his hospital bed. A short time later, he is seen out of the hospital. How did he get free? It's never answered. That's just one of a number of confusing touches the movie has. By the end, I was not really confident about what had happened and why it happened. The movie could have been a lot worse, I admit. But unless you get some masochistic pleasure about being bewildered, you'd be best off skipping this.
