Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

One of my all time favorites.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Static, slightly unrealistic screen play from most except the two investigating, from FBI. Better than most movies all in all.

Repulsive movie with slimy characters--even the "heroes"--and sickening plot line. Makes no sense in a world populated by evil, corrupted, or broken people entirely. . Feel like decontaminating from falling into sewer after trying to sit through it, did not make it past 20 min. Left with bad impressions of Mississippi, small towns, even Federal Bureau of Investigation. X-files this is NOT!

Had to watch it to the end.I don't think I can remember a movie with such potential wasted in almost every scene. The typecasting was comical in an un-funny way. If I cared enough I would check the credits to see if there really were 4 different female characters or was it the same chick in different clothes.The writing \ dialogue was so painful I found myself composing better ways of saying a line and wondering how someone actually got paid to write it so badly. After watching the flick I came back here to re-read the reviews. The 9's and 10's are insulting and obviously deceitful. If the ratings can be rigged, as the Donald would say, so easily by people with an agenda, I feel IMDb loses a lot of credibility.

4/5 - The Hollow Director: Miles DoleacThe Hollow is a film made in a seemingly forgotten tradition of American movies: the straightforward murder mysteries of the 80's and 90's (a la Witness) that featured vivid settings with even stronger accents, a twisty-but-still-easily-digestible plot setup, charismatic actors, layers of tension, and a distinct beginning and end. I love the experimental and emotionally ambiguous as much as any film lover, but I find it just as vital to preserve more straightforward genre fair, especially when they are as precisely made and effective as The Hollow. The film is centered around a murder in the Deep South that brings together two deeply troubled men. There is Vaughn, a wasted FBI agent played by James Callis of Battlestar Galactica fame, and Ray, a dirty cop played by writer/director Miles Doleac. The two men, anchoring the film in a pair of rock solid performances, both conspire (in their own equally conflicted ways) to take down Big John Dawson (William Forsythe). While Dawson is your typical Southern gentlemen/big bad, but Forsythe sinks his teeth into the role in such a way you will not want to turn away. The same can be said for the film as a whole. In a lesser team's hands, The Hollow could have a been boilerplate mess; but Doleac, whose last film was a quieter character drama (The Historian), takes the reigns of this genre piece and makes it his own. Yes, elements of The Hollow can feel derivative, but, in the end, commitment and enthusiasm and attention to detail produces entertaining movies. This is a film that has commitment in spades.
