Solid film overall. Great acting, story, and characters.
Takes a little while to actually get started. They easily could have cut about 20 minutes to improve pacing and tighten the story up. The last hour is where it shines and everything that was set up really starts paying off.
Lacking any kind of dark/organic humor. It's very dreary and downright boring at times. Films like Upgrade and Hollow Man managed to have a sort of charm about them that this film is sorely lacking.
The thriller elements were engaging and clever. They really utilize the invisible man concept to its full potential. You feel like the protagonist is truly in danger at any given moment and the action doesn't devolve into people just being picked up and thrown into walls.
Despite some shaky logic at times, this is a worthy and serious entry in the lineup of films based on The Invisible Man.
