“The Hollow Point” (** out of four) was a hollow action melodrama about a new sherriff (Patrick Wilson) along a Texas-Mexico border town who tries to unravel a drug cartel deal that went awry, which may trace back to a corrupt car salesman (James Belushi), an over-the-hill former cop (Ian McShane), and a crooked associate (John Leguizamo). Good cast founders in a story that never generates much heat or excitement and feels like something Sam Peckinpah could have churned out in his sleep 30 years ago. Wilson once again stands out in a forceful and strong performance.
