From MSNBC: The Reviewer Who Wasn’t There: “The studio plastered Manning’s raves over at least four different movie advertisements, including ‘Hollow Man’ and ‘Vertical Limit.’ But Manning’s own life story should be called ‘Charade,’ because he doesn’t exist.” Amazing. The article makes the point that studios regularly manage to get the quotes they want.

That no one would question the authenticity of this reviewer shows how they’re willing to take whatever quotes they can get. It makes you appreciate the Rotten Tomatoes Cream of the Crop section.
