I love this movie so much
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

... View More"Hologram Man" is another entertaining movie from the PM Group. PM Entertainment put out the best DTV action movies out there. They are now defunct, but in the 90's they were the kings. "Hologram Man" is the straight to video version of "Virtuosity".The plot is: Slash Gallagher (Evan Lurie) is baddest criminal around. When he kills the Governor, he gets sent to holographic statis, which means his body is discarded for a holographic one. But during his parole hearing five years later, he escapes and only one cop can bring him down: Kurt Decoda (Joe Lara).This movie has non-stop explosions. Every car, person and building is blown up. They spared no expense on the pyrotechnics this time around. The body count is also very high, with hundreds getting killed. It makes for a fun evening. The acting is also first-rate. Evan Lurie and Joe Lara put in exciting performances. Michael Nouri, on the other hand, looks like he's reading cue cards. Overall, this is a very cool flick that's worth seeing.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
... View MoreI am not a fan of the "so bad you love them" movies but Hologram Man has converted me. Every line of dialogue was cliche from the rookie cop looking at the Rebel Detective- with his non regulation hair and perfect suits- and saying, "That's not in the manual" to the loud and obnoxious supervisor saying, "You're a loose cannon."The opening bus chase scene was a complete rip off, down to camera angles, from Speed and Terminator 2.I especially like how five years pass and every car has been replaced by sleek and futuristic vehicles.This movie is great, especially from a writer's perspective of what not to do, there are lame attempts to instantly create tension that come off as just hack and downright funny.This movie is a riot.
... View MorePM Entertainment was really starting to roll around this point, and they were probably thinking this was going to be their breakthrough point. They apparently had a sizable budget, great locations, and a screenplay filled with action and a huge body count.Upon seeing the finished product, it seems something went very VERY wrong. Most of the blame can be put on the incompetent editing (the problem that you usually find on the particular PM movies that went wrong.) Often new scenes start up in what seems to be the MIDDLE of the scene - including the opening sequence! Action sequences sometimes are missing key shots, so that people or vehicles are suddenly in a new position without us seeing how they got there. If a particular action scene isn't confusingly cut like that, it's instead cut in a way that makes all the shooting and explosions boring.Elsewhere in the movie, a few shots are sliced up and spread throughout the particular scene (in one instance, it results in someone dying, then seen miraculously alive!) And some scenes are utterly useless, like the scene where the hero goes through a virtual reality training course. Sure, the computer graphics (for the time) aren't bad, but this scene serves no purpose except for eye candy. The rest of the movie is mostly just as forgettable. Having both a hero and a villain look and act like Lorenzo Lamas was probably not a good idea. I admit I did get a few giggles with William Sanderson cast as a computer geek. There are a few other laughs, but otherwise it's an unbelievably dull effort that seems to go on forever. The only possible explanation I can think of is that maybe the work-in-progress cut was mistakenly shipped to the video people instead of the final cut.
... View MoreAnother excellent Joe Lara movie. All the cast were great but Joe is my favorite. I saw this one quite a few times too. You gotta see this Sci-fi. It's another action flick. It's real cool.
