I saw Hollow Man over the weekend. It was okay, but only just so. Though, it was pretty much ruined for me by all of the depictions of animal cruelty, including (spoiler - highlight to read) the brutal killing of a dog, none of which was really necessary. They were added either for gross-out effect, or to make us really hate Kevin Bacon's character, but they didn't have to add that in there to make me hate him. I'm no bleeding heart, and I do realize that none of it was real, but it wasn't something I wanted to watch. Other than that, the plot really wasn't all that compelling, the characters were underdeveloped, and it wasn't very scary; but it did have a few bright points, including an impressive tough-girl performance by Elizabeth Shue, and Josh Brolin. He didn't need to do anything, just being there was enough. Especially the shirtless scenes. Yow.
