ALIEN NATION
This film was fun. It was basically a normal police movie. There was no need to have any aliens in it at all, but it made a nice little twist.
Aliens have come to Earth and the live with us... they have jobs and are treated in most cases as normal people. But there are some people who do not like them, who do not trust them... and Detective Sergeant Matthew Sykes is one of those people. He has always distrusted the Newcomers. When his partner gets killed by a Newcomer, he volunteers to parter with one to help find the murderer.
It is a movie about relationships. 2 partners who do not like each other having to work together and trust each other. The relationship is kind of like Riggs & Murtaugh in the original Lethal Weapon movie. They did not get on, but by the end of the film they were best friends and there for each other.
The aliens were pretty good even though the make up was terrible. You can't hurt them by kicking them between the legs... their delicate area is under their arms near the armpit. Also, they burn in salt water. It can kill them.
Like I said before, the make up was bad. You could see they were wearing rubber egg heads. and the noses looked like they could fall off at any point.
The film stars James Caan, Mandy Patinkin, Terence Stamp and Kevyn Major Howard. The acting was OK. Not spectacular, but it was alright.
It was just a good police chase/detective film. It was fun but not really full of surprises.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
I love sci-fi films and action police films... it was my kind of movie.
