An over-the-top Ian McShane is the chief selling point for this formulaic neo-noir drama, which also stars Patrick Wilson.

There's literally nothing in this movie that feels like it arose from an impulse to either entertain or create art.

Rated: 1/4

"The Hollow Point" limps to a close without fully rewarding the effort expended on its making.

Movie Talk

A brutal blend of modern-day Western and hard-boiled noir, twisty crime thriller.

Rated: 3/5

Lopez-Gallego spends more time polishing his weapons than he does strengthening editing and building characterization.

Ian McShane is remarkable for his age. This film however, is unremarkable. Plot is all over the place, and the storyline is difficult to follow as it jumps around like a demented flea. Wish I hadn't bothered...

Based on the trailer it looked good, but I'd lost interest about half way through. The plot meanders and the directing seems a bit eccentric, perhaps trying to be stylish and noir but not pulling it off.

This is a very good movie, never boring and not a lot talking (which sometimes can be senseless). The problem is some critics are looking for the next "great movie". It's not this, it's not that. Just watch the damn movie and when you get to the end you will say that was a pretty good movie. Is it " The Godfather" no is it "Chinatown" close to that burn but it is its own movie! Enjoy, you won't regret it.

I absolutely loved this movie. Ian McShane & Patrick Wilson are phenomenal. I've seen alot of documentarys & I do mean alot of documentrys on drug cartels in Mexico & when I was younger (25 years ago) I used to run with people who went to drug deals & this movie got it pretty good. I liked it because even if you kill the hit man coming for you, then another will come, then another etc. Once the cartel puts you on that list, this evil list. It's over. They will hunt you to the end of time & have the money & resources to do it.
