Waste of time

Lack of good storyline.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

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.

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.

The sound effects/soundtracks were unbelievable. The filming was so fresh and new, didn't know what to expect. My husband and I loved it. I truly love shows were you cant predict what is going to happen. This one delivered as a true mystery all the way to the end. Wilson is fantastic. Belushi was excellent, good to see him again. The guns and gun sound effects were off the chart. I would have loved to have seen this on the big screen. No spoiler alerts, you have watch this one on your own. Belushi can truly act the serious bad guy. I had to take pain medicine during the show because the movie hurt so bad. The sound and visual is what made this 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?
