First-rate science fiction-horror with Kevin Bacon at his cocky/smarmy/creepy best as a brilliant scientist with something of a God complex, who discovers the secret of invisibility but is ultimately driven homicidally mad when he can't find a way to reverse the process. Plenty of psychological insight into his character, along with some truly eye-dazzling special effects, a dollop of dark humor and strong, typically over-the-top direction from Paul Verhoeven make this a tremendously entertaining yarn. The script might have been even better if the writers had taken Sebastian Caine out of the laboratory setting just a time or two more, but this a small quibble.
