FBI agent Diane Norwood (Carrere) and DEA agent Max Parrish (Griffith) are both in pursuit of the same criminals- a trio of allied crime bosses, and a man named Livingston (Lithgow), who handles their finances. But, instead of working together, the two agents race to be the first to arrest the criminals and seize their millions in cash in order to claim the money for their agency.
After realizing neither one can be beaten or persuaded off the case, the agents reluctantly decide to work together. Despite a great deal of romantic tension, their strong personalities and different investigative techniques frequently clash; Diane, who is thoughtful, serious and by-the-book, is frustrated by Max’s cocky, reckless nature and flippant sense of humor.
Eventually, they discover and must team up with an eccentric assassin (Sutherland) who works with Livingston; the agents’ only link to resolving the case. This unlikely group then works to foil the criminals’ plans.
Ultimate Action Movies reviewed the film, praising it as "the most underrated action comedy of the 90s... perhaps the most overlooked action comedy of all time".[1]
The Action Elite's review was not quite as favorable:
"Hollow Point is packed with explosions and shoot-outs with a few laugh-out-loud [sic] moments but the script lets it down and it isn’t as funny as it thinks it is... At an hour and 38 minutes it’s a brisk watch with a high body count [sic] but the odd tone almost makes it feel like a live action cartoon. Overall, Hollow Point is an entertaining action comedy with a solid cast and a few funny moments..."[2]
