The Hollow Point

Overall The Hollow Point (2016) had my interest, but I felt the gory focus toward the latter half of the film didn't do it any favors. Patrick Wilson was fine in this cartel story in the modern west, but I was here for Ian McShane, who didn't disappoint.

I really like Patrick Wilson, but any attempt to cast him in a law enforcement position will ultimately underwhelm after his turn on Fargo: Season Two.

You know you're in trouble when The Belush is your big standout.

Decent acting, atrocious writing. Ian McShane smooths the way for a lot of the loopier 'WTF?!' moments. It's a turkey in Kevlar: you're not shooting to kill, but you're not human if you don't laugh and pull the trigger a couple of times.

Thriller aux accents western porté par un excellent Patrick Wilson, épaulé par l'excellent Ian McShane. Ce dernier est une belle démonstration de charisme moderne. Sinon le film est bourré d'incohérences (le coup de la prison), un méchant qui meurt trop vite, et un suspense pas très passionnant.

This film has many flaws but also some entertaining scenes. The cast does a good job in this movie. The script has some unpredictable moments that keep things interesting. Overall I would recommend this flawed film.

Slow and boring

occasionally misses the tone with misplaced slomo-coolness, lynn collins' vacant performance might be indeliberate, and some plot points don't add up. on the upside you got a great setting and some really nice shots. wilson is eternally doomed to play the sheriff, but his character is a pleasingly faulty and unusual lead. belushi is a fitting sleazeball, leguizamo has the weirdest arc. overall, nothing you will remember forever, but something you can enjoy while it lasts.
