Hollow Point (2019) User Reviews

Very mundane

[Leofwine_draca · 3/10 · 27 March 2020]

HOLLOW POINT is another zero-budget B-movie made on the cheap and on the quick, with no attention paid to decent direction or proper plotting. It makes me long for the days of Steven Seagal's straight-to-DVD work, which is saying something. The cover is a cheat, promising a Luke Goss movie when in fact he plays in support. The cast is the only interesting thing about this which is why it's a shame that an unknown quantity in the form of Sri Lankan actor Dilan Jay plays the lead and is very dull in the role. Lower down in the cast we get Michael Pare, JuJu Chan and Bill Duke, but they can't lift the spirits of a very mundane little would-be thriller.

Budget below budget

[popsalicious · 3/10 · 14 July 2019]

All they could afford was Luke's cut and the rest is pure rubbish. I know great budget movies are hard to find, but this is terrible.

Hollow Point? No real point

[Mandatory-Field · 3/10 · 5 July 2019]

Very predictable basic revenge story where nothing new happens. Don't even bother to rent it, go for a walk in the park

Terrible film

[fruit-bat-10246 · 1/10 · 26 September 2019]

Acting is cringe-worthy, storyline is unoriginal and predictable. Regret watching this film.

Hollow indeed

[carlos-pires · 1/10 · 15 July 2019]

When you notice that the main titles look like something done in PowerPoint, you know this isn't gonna be Oscar material. But only 7 minutes into it you are already nauseated by the sheer incompetence of everyone involved in this train wreck:

• a lady vigilante in high heals prancing her back up the stairs as if she was walking down the catwalk at a fashion event, instead of stealthily sneaking up on drug dealers.
• the ridiculous fight scene that ensues.
• the outrageously idiotic college girl who can't even speak english presenting the worst delivery of a mind-numbingly stupid fallacy you can ever imagine.
• the editing which looks as if it was done by a blind bat.
• the stupidity of the woman character who just sits at the wheel of her car watching a guy shoot another guy, then shoot herself (no, the car didn't broke). Anything would be more believable than this stupid scene. Aliens crashing down on surfboards would be more believable than this.

I knew it would be bad, given the fact that there is "Luke Goss" on it. I just wasn't prepared for this level of braindead stupidity and incompetence. I can't find any explanation why someone would be willing to waste their time watching this crap, much less pay for this.

Oh Dear....

[dazzabazza · 1/10 · 31 March 2020]

I don't even know where to begin......an hour and a half of my life wasted watching this movie.

Luke Goss is ok and it's as if he is trying to be the new Jason Statham but failing miserably in my opinion. He looks like a white Mo Farah and his American accent is awful, sounds more like an Englishman that has been around Americans and has picked up a glint of the accent.

The acting is terrible and cheesy, poor plot and very predictable .

One star for Ju Ju who is a hottie and has some martial arts skills.

Avoid.

Worst movie ever

[deancollins-05500 · 1/10 · 9 July 2019]

Wow this film blows, hammy acting, terrible story line and terrible production and directing, not sure who let this pooch of a film get released but they should be jailed, I struggled to think of worse movie than this.... If someone asks you to watch this tell them you would rather kill your self

No point!

[srhbarton · 2/10 · 2 April 2020]

Waste of time the acting is terrible the storyline is boring and predictable Luke Goss has a bad American accent and the fight scenes are crap. If you have got time for a laugh and don't mind wasting some of your life give it a watch.

its not the best, but

[ops-52535 · 6/10 · 27 June 2019]

It will survive in the land of b-movies. its a revenge/vigilantish flick that happens in and around the metropolitan area of los angeles,ca. usa. its a gang conflict over territories that goes totally wrong and collateral damage appears as a youn girl and her mothers gets shot. the husband sitting back goes grim of revenge, and tries in a very spontanious attempt to kill the culprits blinded by the rage, but he fails and gets arrested as the gang of gangsters had already called the police. in jail he goes and mamy the story tell the rest by itself,so have a look.

its a b-movie, and the acting showing signs of very inexperienced acting, and some of the sewing of the editor could have been better done, but there are some relly good fistfights,without any limbs lost or beheadings done,and just a tiny little bit of reallike looking blood to spice up the hot dog. there are some good shootouts too as the title hollow point says.

the filmography and especially the ''night''filming are brilliantly done, and the score are pretty original and quite invigorating. so the grumpy old man thinks that if you wanna see a tough semi pro movie at your night off,then have a look at this.

Absolutely terrible

[djwilson-22657 · 1/10 · 30 March 2020]

When you do a whole revenge film where a wife and daughter are murdered the least you expect is something worth getting emotionally invested in. Whole movie felt cheesy and unfulfilling, not to mention unrealistic. Not enough emotion and REVENGE for the genre. Could have cringed my eyes out my head through the whole movie and was relieved when it was over. Do not waste your time.

Love it when bad guys get their just desserts

[pauljonze · 9/10 · 27 March 2020]

They should turn this into a series. Proper kick ass where justice is done without the help Of law enforcement

Not bad at all

[cbodhinath · 7/10 · 30 June 2019]

A decent Action/Drama film with a slow pace. Luke Goss one of the most underrated actors does his part brilliantly as usual. Fight scenes are perfect with Ju Ju who is amazing with her Martial Arts skills. The new actor who is a Sri Lankan does his part admirably. Overall a good film. Watch this film and you will realize that this not a bad film at all.

Pretty bad

[markdubbz · 2/10 · 25 July 2019]

Completely predictable with a rich clichéd center. Stale dialogue and horrible pacing really bring this movie down. Acting is sub-par from the likes of Jay Mohr, Michael Paré and the lead character Dilan Jay. Not worth your time at all.

Not worth a look

[carlodegraaff · 2/10 · 20 October 2019]

Unfortunately I was only able to survive watching only 30min of this absolute crap acting FROM the very beginning. I was expecting more as I have seen other movies with Luke Goss in them that I enjoyed, but not this piece of rubbish.

Hollow Pointless

[nigeldann · 2/10 · 29 March 2020]

Poor movie. Very poor acting from almost everyone; Luke Goss was OK.

Spoilers. . . Vigilante/revenge movie with no real investment in the characters. Sadly Dilan Jay has not learned how to cry convincingly. Sad, puppy dog face does not cut it.

He is clearly fit and has fighting skills - but to get beat up on his first day in prison then not again for 10 months while he 'learns how to fight by reading books and bulking up' is beyond ridiculous.

Bad guys who allow good guys to smash their hands with wrenches?

I could go on but I have lost the will to live.

Absolutely No Point

[mitchkitty · 1/10 · 30 March 2020]

Turned it off after 20 mins. Acting was rubbish, plot was weak. Just a hideous mess of a film. If i could give it zero, I would..

UGH

[aguynameddrew · 3/10 · 8 August 2022]

The writing is awful.

The directing is awful.

The acting is awful.

Some decent fight scenes.

If you ever find yourself in some weird situation where your only entertainment options are watching this movie or watching paint dry, i highly recommend the paint.

It's like something from an old movie

[simon-richards1 · 5/10 · 29 November 2020]

Jesus wept,I thought films like this were a thing of the past,it's like watching an 80's vcr film,the quality is terrible, as is the acting - however I do feel Luke Goss can do much better.It's a story that's been told hundreds of times,& yes you can guess the ending after the first 5 minutes. The film has more holes in it than a Swiss cheese, although it was watchable, simply for the fact it's so bad,I have to carry on watching it. Have a few beers,brain at the door - you'll be fine

Not bad indeed

[minunimion · 7/10 · 27 October 2020]

Bad fighting? For those who wrote that... she is a martial art champion! I like to read the useless reviews (1, 2, 3 stars) of useless people who talk about bad fighting... all of them probably pretend to be better, I suppose. Interesting when self righteous people say... bad acting... I imagine all of them are great actors and very famous to say that, but guess what, no big actors would write a review, they don't waste their time doing that, so do yourself a favor... shut up! An aspiring actress said the she was embarrassed for the actors because the acting was terrible. First, I'm sorry, but never you'll be an actress. Second, aspiring means you're not an actress, but they are real actors! The envy won't help you, you're just a loser! Reading the bad reviews I learned something important... I've to watch that movie! Listening to the haters is totally stupid, mostly when you read... the worst movie ever! This movie is absolutely decent, it doesn't deserve at all a so bad score, all the actors do their job, the director is good, the plot is not something new, but I don't care, I like the action movies and I'm happy I watched it. I enjoyed the movie and I accepted it as it is. I liked the fighting especially when Ju Ju is involved, because she's really good and I hope to see her in some martial arts movies.

Average crime movie.

[saptesh786 · 5/10 · 23 May 2020]

Story about crime, drug, criminals, abusing girls,murders, corrupt police, blind law all in LA and three maskmen to stop them. Could have lots thrill and actions but failed. Rare thrill and two or three average action or fight sequences. Once time watchable if you have no choice. Relief from Gus.

Solid movie !

[dhammikabandara · 10/10 · 2 July 2019]

You would think that because of the semi weak plot, this movie wouldn't be that good, however, the main storyline is just a small part of this movie, the other elements being action and some interesting relationships

If you haven't seen this movie, rent it tonight.

Good escapism

[richard-huff · 6/10 · 22 October 2021]

I get tired of people who review films and say it's staid, the acting is bad etc. And I think 'well you try to do better!' This is an enjoyable film. Sure it's not Oscar material but it is enjoyable vigilante stuff. Bad guys get what they deserve. Who wants more? People (and I include professional critics in this) who criticise a film from their perspective, get off your arse and do better, otherwise shut up and let us make up our own minds.

Amateurs in comedy of errors...

[lobstersurreal · 3/10 · 16 April 2021]

Terrible actor. Terrible director. Terrible writer. Terrible producer. Even 80s B movies are better.

There were some parts entertaining. Such as talking of Hammurabbi or Monarch butterfly weird reference during interrogation. Luke Goss is very suave and the fight scenes are okay. But that's about it. No string of coherence. Terrible music.

Dan Zirilli should never make movies anymore. And Dilan Jay should neve act.

Hollow and Pointless

[rdamian1963 · 2/10 · 26 September 2021]

This movie has little entertainment value. The script is horrible and the acting is terrible. The action sequences use poor camera angles . There is little character development. The storyline is disjointed. If you are looking for an action drama to fall asleep to - this is one for you.

Not worth it.

[b_ensan · 3/10 · 2 December 2023]

The current rating is justified, maybe the storyline is fine but this movie is very slow paced and some of the acting is terrible.

Nolan, the main guy, whose wife and daughter were senselessly killed by the mod, was acting so bored and unfazed the whole time. Very unrelatable and unrealistic reaction (badly written or bad acting), made the first half of the movie almost unbearable to continue watching

I initially decided to watch this movie because of Luke Goss, he did a great job stealing every scene he was in with his performance but other than that, I just couldn't continuously make it to the end of the movie, it was just too boring.
