The Hollow Point (2016)

Load of rubbish!!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This film wants to be No Country for Old Men if it was directed by a second rate Robert Rodriguez.A Mexican cartel arms deal goes wrong leaving several dead and some money missing. Ian McShane is a wily but ageing small town lawman in Arizona, Patrick Wilson is his straight laced replacement, the new sheriff in town. They both join forces as a mysterious cartel hit-man (John Leguizamo) arrives with a literal hit-list, the trouble he is also a police officer. John Belushi is a sleazy used car salesman who seems to be doing the Cartel's dirty work.This is a gritty neo noir B film, convoluted and viscerally violent, at one point Wilson loses his hand in a machete attack but it also comes across as confusing, hollow and silly at times.

I was breathless many times during the viewing of this film, not through excitement, or surprise, but exasperation. How could anyone make such a poor film, insult so many audiences, and still not be aware that his favourite blithering idiot could have done a much better job. It kept disappointing on so many levels, that you could have been forgiven for believing, he was after the worst picture of the century award. Believe me he needn't have tried so hard. It was a blatant copy of several modern westerns of the same genre. It won't be sited for plagiarism, for the simple reason that no one in his right mind, would turn up to court for the fear of derogatory association. From continuity, choppy shot changes, meaningless transition of plot, it had all the ingredients of" Arthurs" burnt cake. On second thoughts he may have been trying to impress his favourite blithering idiot, I have news for him, he walked out after the first reel.

It's a bit wacky, almost cult-classic. I think people are expecting toomuch, so they are hitting it with too many super low ratings It's way better than a 5.4, though it's not an 9 by any means.McShane always pleases.

First of all the only reason why i decide to watch this movie:The Hollow Point is because i really like Patrick Wilson and haven't seen anything good from this guy since The Conjuring 2 and to be honest with you guys soon the movie end i started to regret watching it so much. Seriously this movie has potential to be very good or at least enjoyable crime thriller to watch but the script......OMG the script for this movie is so dumb and stupid in so many level that while watching the movie i keep thinking: WTF is wrong with this writer.From the dialogue between the characters i hardly can't careless about to so many plot holes that in one particular scene i honestly think the director just give up and let it unfinished.Not a single person in this movie likable even the main character because all of them acting like a walking cardboard for the majority of the runtime of the movie
