Hollow Point (1996)

FBI Agent Diane Knox (Tia Carrere) has been undercover for six months when her sting is foiled by DEA Agent Max Perish (Thomas Ian Griffith). Both agencies are searching for Thomas Livingston (John Lithgow), the master-mind behind a partnership between the Italian, Chinese, and Russian mafias. Livingston is about to ship its entire years shipment of cash to various offshore banks. Whichever agency is able to find the money will be able to keep the funds. Their best hope of capturing Livingston is by finding Garrett (Donald Sutherland), a hitman that Livingston recently double crossed. However, when Diane runs a check on Max, she discovers he is no longer with the DEA. In this deadly game of cat and mouse, who can you really trust…?

Ugh!

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. December 28, 2007

awesome

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.. September 21, 2007

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. May 6, 2007

Hollow Point

Action movie with excellent cast, and strong action-comedy content.
Little sexuality, plenty of action. March 12, 2007

THE HUMOR HELPS

HOLLOW POINT is a pretty routine action shoot em up, but it's keen sense of humor and its sharp performances elevate it to a much better than average thriller.
Tia Carrere and Thomas Ian Griffith play sparring government adversaries out to stop a nefarious money launderer. Their romantic battling is reminiscent of MOONLIGHTING although a little more physical. Carrere uses her stunning beauty quite well and Griffith is very funny as an egotistical morphine popping agent. But the real stars of the film are veterans John Lithgow as the aforesaid villain and Donald Sutherland, just having a grand old time as a morally conscious assassin. Veteran director Sidney J Furie keeps the action moving with a funny climax with our four stars all pointing guns at each other. Not a classic but good entertainment. October 5, 2006
