Good brainless fun
Added 2/18/2009
"Hollow Point" is an surprisingly successful mix of action and comedy. The story is nothing special but there's plenty of action scenes and manyy funny scenes, and it's also helped by a good cast. Thomas Ian Griffith and Tia Carrere make a good team and John Lithgow a good villain, but Donald Sutherland really steals the show as a hitman. This is a perfect movie to turn off your brain and have fun for 100 minutes.

We are movie buffs. I own over 1,000 DVD's. I buy based on my interests, recommendations, and Amazon reviews. So the generally positive reviews for an action movie featuring well-known actors (even though, movie buff that I am, I had never heard of this movie) prompted me to buy it.
We could not get through more than twenty minutes of it before I asked my wife if she wanted to cut our losses and shut it off. She gratefully agreed.
God! What dreck this is. Who are these people who loved this movie and told us all about it on Amazon? My faith in collective wisdom is shattered.

I thought this movie was fantastic, All the actors did a superb job, and hey the comments that Max and Diane have towards each other are great. I havewatched it over and over again. I would highly recommend it, butthen I am a big fan of all the actors esp. Griffith, Tia the best scenes were the bar, his mouth wide open while she is talking dirty, when they shoot each other, her talking to herself while he is driving the cop car, and her place in the kitchen, and the very end at the shooting at their feet and then the kissing. WOW..

Grade A for a B movie

Say what you will, this movie's awesome. Thomas Ian Griffith and Tia Carrere may never have hit the A list as actors, but in this movie they're great. Donal Sutherland as the psychotic pyromaniac assassin is hysterical. John Lithgow as the megalomaniacal madman bent on world domination is totally believable... okay, maybe not but I already used "hysterical" in this review.
Bottom line, if you like a good time and don't want to be bothered by excessive drama and pathos, this is the movie for you.

Action movie with excellent cast, and strong action-comedy content.
Little sexuality, plenty of action.
