Low budget film does good! Clever concept - something different and a solid watch. Unknown cast helps I think in these types of films. Can’t believe I’ve never seen it before

Watched this as part of a Saw marathon while I had Covid. Surprisingly this is better than I remember - Donnie Wahlberg is decent as the manic cop. The series does take a big dip from here - but this one is a solid watch

Decent film this one - Samuel L Jackson and Martin Sheen at their demented best! Another one that slips under the radar but is a solid watch. Glad I saw the directors cut ending as it ends the film a lot better

Samuel L Jackson is a teacher at a stabby school. Transfers to an even stabbier school. As you guess it doesn’t end well. Not as good as I remember, but decent cast and soundtrack. Always good to hear a drum and bass tune slipped in 🔥

Ah a nice little classic! Great sound track and based on a true story - always a good start. Mind you casting is iffy, half the high school kids look 30! Overall good and worth a watch

Hollow Man

★★★★ Watched

Forgot how good this was! Kevin Bacon is given the opportunity to be invisible. But instead of using invisibility to play pranks on people or gain free public transport - he chooses to molest women and murder people. The special fx seem to stand the test of time - Kim Dickens hairstyle however, does not.

Very good - reminds me of hollow man. Mind you spent the whole film trying to work out if Elizabeth Moss is fit or not

Pretty good - even Gerard Butlers dodgy American accent holds up well! Would have been better at the cinema with the action sequences
