| VarietyJoe LeydonThere are sporadic compensations for your investment of time: Ian McShane’s robust overplaying of an unapologetically scuzzy small-town lawman, John Leguizamo’s dead-serious villainy as a scarily resilient hit man, evocative lensing by David Jose Montero, and a few modestly inventive twists in the otherwise predictable plot. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfLopez-Gallego spends more time polishing his weapons than he does strengthening editing and building characterization. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayA stylish, neo-noir/western with a standout performance by Ian McShane. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoThe Hollow Point is a blazing contemporary western that finds pleasure in punishment. |
| L.A. WeeklyApril WolfeLyew kills the story with implausible twists, but he does craft some effective, original set pieces. |

| The Hollywood ReporterJonathan HollandAs homage, the film is visually striking, littered with moments of real cinematographic intelligence, and always watchable, in a nasty sort of way, but as a thriller, its ambitions of intensity are thwarted by a plot which becomes increasingly out-there as the twists and turns pile up. |
| The PlaylistGary GarrisonIt knows of its B-movie roots, its tired plot and well-worn archetypes, and beneath the burden of the sorely unoriginal, it does manage to be occasionally funny, occasionally surprising, and occasionally the bloody and bombastic genre cliche it set out to be. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe Hollow Point is such a shameless and indifferent recycling of Nihilistic Crime In The New American West clichés that it feels like it was crafted by committee. A really lazy committee. |
