Simon T Dec 1 Dreadful low budget rip-off of every 'Invisible Man' bottom of the bill fleapit fodder. The 'plot' is tediously predictable: a hoodlum escapes from prison and is driven to a remote farmstead, where of course a demented German boffin has invented an amazing machine that can render anything invisible. For the first half-hour literally nothing happens and agonisingly slowly. But luckily it then all kicks off, with lots of double-crossings, domestic abuse, failed bank jobs, etc culminating in a nuclear explosion. Total garbage. See more A M 09/08/2024 Whole thing is good but worth it for the last shot alone. See more Dave S 01/04/2024 As a general rule of thumb, any movie whose title starts with ‘The Amazing…' is probably not going to be amazing, so don't fall for the title trickery. Case in point: The Amazing Transparent Man, the story of a mad scientist who, through his invisibility machine, plans to create an invisible army to take over the world. All goes smoothly until…well…it doesn't. Yes, the story is preposterous, but what really drags down the movie are the outstandingly bad production values. The only saving grace in this low-budget mess is the fact that it clocks in at just under an hour. See more Georgan G 11/25/2023 Another from the 50 Movie Pack Sci Fi Classics. Despite its many faults, this movie is campy & fun. The special effects are especially amateurish. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 04/20/2023 Is B&W so won't keep you from falling asleep. See more stu b 02/28/2019 No frills--or thrills-sci-fi. When a hardened criminal busts out of prison--only to find himself being recruited to serve as a guinea pig in some hush-hush invisibility experiments--danger, double-crosses, and, of course, a bank heist or two soon follow...not to mention the ex-con's own misgivings (the experiments are slowly killing him) about allowing himself to be experimented on in the first place. Think: Claude Rains' "Invisible Man", only without the classy black-and-white photography, superior writing and acting, and impish sense of humor. Complete with a heavy-handed warning at the very end about the dangers of radioactivity. Its one saving grace: at a little under an hour, it's mercifully short. Not recommended.
