5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Music!, October 5, 2005

By	Michael L. Matheny "music fan" (Byram, MS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The music scored for this movie was great! I also enjoy the song that is played on the radio in his car when he escapes. It is called "Charlie Big Potato" and it is by Skunk Anansie

5.0 out of 5 stars film scoring: the way it should be, July 26, 2000

By A Customer

Jerry Goldsmith and Paul Verhoeven seem to be made for each other. First there was Total Recall then there was Basic Instinct and now there's Hollow Man. Those first two have become Goldsmith classics and this score must surely join them.

If you've come expecting warm themes and comfy atmosphere stay away. But if you like your film music imaginative, challenging and uncompromising then this is the ticket.

The music is mysterious, haunting, disturbing and finally balls-out violent all befitting of this story of an invisible man that becomes progressively more insane. There are moments of optimism and discovery in the early cues but watch out! Things turn dark and scary in a flash and before you know it Goldsmith has cornered you with his modernistic and intense brass and strings and subtle synths. The nearly 10 minute "Bloody Floor" is classic suspense/action scoring. And it never relents even in the final two cues, "The Elevator" and "The Big Climb".

Not for everyone but if you are a serious film music fan you can't pass this up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Goldsmith, September 20, 2000

By	Philippe Blumenthal (4513 Langendorf Switzerland) - See all my reviews

This is not one of the big and bold thematic scores like 13th Warrior or Star Trek: Insurrection. Hollow Man is a thriller score with great action elements (try track 11,12 & 13) evoking some of the best Goldsmith has written in years in this genre. There is no bombastic theme to rely on, it's all in atmosphere and mood, an exciting and unusual score plus you certainly can hear how great Goldsmith writing was back 20 years ago. Electronic effects are splendid, the playing is superb. This is good old Goldsmith!
