Truly Dreadful Film
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This film wants to be No Country for Old Men if it was directed by a second rate Robert Rodriguez.A Mexican cartel arms deal goes wrong leaving several dead and some money missing. Ian McShane is a wily but ageing small town lawman in Arizona, Patrick Wilson is his straight laced replacement, the new sheriff in town. They both join forces as a mysterious cartel hit-man (John Leguizamo) arrives with a literal hit-list, the trouble he is also a police officer. John Belushi is a sleazy used car salesman who seems to be doing the Cartel's dirty work.This is a gritty neo noir B film, convoluted and viscerally violent, at one point Wilson loses his hand in a machete attack but it also comes across as confusing, hollow and silly at times.
It's a bit wacky, almost cult-classic. I think people are expecting toomuch, so they are hitting it with too many super low ratings It's way better than a 5.4, though it's not an 9 by any means.McShane always pleases.
First of all the only reason why i decide to watch this movie:The Hollow Point is because i really like Patrick Wilson and haven't seen anything good from this guy since The Conjuring 2 and to be honest with you guys soon the movie end i started to regret watching it so much. Seriously this movie has potential to be very good or at least enjoyable crime thriller to watch but the script......OMG the script for this movie is so dumb and stupid in so many level that while watching the movie i keep thinking: WTF is wrong with this writer.From the dialogue between the characters i hardly can't careless about to so many plot holes that in one particular scene i honestly think the director just give up and let it unfinished.Not a single person in this movie likable even the main character because all of them acting like a walking cardboard for the majority of the runtime of the movie
"The Hollow Point" is a movie that feels lazily and cynically assembled by a committee. It looks good, has some really violent moments, and some dependable stars. Who cares if it doesn't make sense, or you don't care about any of the characters?It becomes clear early on that you don't need to make any investment into the characters not only because the movie doesn't adequately explain who they are or what they want, but also because you know they are going to get maimed and mutilated in some pretty gruesome and graphic ways, that only the special effects people seem to understand the repercussions of.Case in point: early on, our hero, if that's who he is, is attacked by a madman wielding a machete, who hacks off one of his limbs. This is depicted every bit as violently as you might expect. Does he go into shock, pass out from blood loss, and die? Does he manage to get help, go to hospital, recover, learn to live without the limb, quit the police force, because I'm pretty sure a one-armed-man would be ineligible for service, and live out his days on disability?No.He apparently drags himself to the house of his partner - if that's who he is - bleeds on the guy's walls, and waits politely until sun up. When he finally goes to hospital, he asks wryly about the chance of the limb being found and reattached, to which the doctor or nurse makes an almost cruelly flippant response.It's a grim-dark, bleak, nihilistic thriller, see?See?
