I love this movie so much

Simply A Masterpiece

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I just have to say this: The worst thing about this movie was Michael Madsen acting. Does this guy even have any expressions? During the entire movie the feeling I got from him was "yeah, so?".Never excited, never raises his voice, never acts like any more than a cardboard cutout. The movie would have been a lot better if he wasn't in it.Overall, this movie wasn't quite as bad as some of the others would have you believe. I had just bought 4 stinkers to watch during the weekend (I like watching bad movies). This movie was the best of the lot (which tells you how bad the other movies were).In this movie, aliens can travel anywhere because their females have a "sender gene". They had made sure that over the years no humans with this gene were allowed to continue on, although they never explain exactly how that was accomplished. Enter Michael Madsen's character and his daughter, who of course has the gene. The government wants her, and the aliens are trying to strengthen her gift because they accidentally killed her grandfather. The hottie alien in this case has gotten to know humans and now believes they aren't as bad as previously thought.So, we have (too many) gun battles where Michael Madsen likes to hold his gun sideways like an idiot "gangsta" or something. They never run out of ammo (hey, isn't that so last century?). Of course, no one but the heroes ever hit anything even though they are up against soldiers with M16s. Speaking of soldiers, they should have gotten them uniforms that fit. They looked pretty dumb. Also too many car chases where our heroes always get away.This could have been a good movie. There were some good actors in it, and overall the acting was OK (except for Michael Madsen).Also, they should have gotten rid of the bleached blond black guy with the one earring who was supposed to be in charge. He was a horrible actor, and his "look" didn't fit the part at all. He looked like he should be dressing the performers back stage at a theatrical stage show.The best actor in the movie (and I guess he's a bit of a character actor) was R. Lee Ermey as the bad ass Colonel Rosewater, but I've never seen him be bad at any part he's played.Got nothing to do? Bored? Only movie in the $3 bin you haven't seen? Buy it and watch it once. Better than nothing.

I am fortunate to own this movie. It happened years ago, I bought the first "Iron Eagle" on VHS, second hand. Got back home, put the tape in the player and... What the?! This is not "Iron Eagle"! Someone misplaced the tapes. Huh, at least this is with airplanes too. WOW! UFO! Yup, that was my reaction at that time. Watched the whole movie and pretty much enjoyed it. I find it highly underrated, that's why I'm giving it 10. Objectively it is 5.5/6. It's not like great, but it is surprisingly good and unknown. Give it a try if you have the chance. I've seen Richard Pepin's work, "Cyber Tracker" 1 and two were like hits in the local video rent store when I was a kid, and I think I've also seen "Dark Breed" and "The Silencers" (can't tell for sure, because if I've seen them they were in Bulgarian and I don't remember the translation of the titles, but the covers look quite familiar). Michael Madsen fans just have to watch this one.

This film is typical of what the Americans seem to like - to their shame. Lots of car chases, a very high body count and leading characters possessing an immunity to machine gun bullets whilst making every shot from their handguns hit its target. Also I believe that automatic pistols do need reloading before firing 100 shots. The plot was OK but there were many loopholes. The only thing making this film worth watching is Shelli Lether who is very easy on the eye. Glamour is one thing that the Yanks do well but how many times have we seen immune heroes like Rambo dodging multiple machine gun fire with no damage! 1/10(for Shelli Lether)

If this movie was a big-budget flick, it would have gotten a 5. But, this is a B-movie that exceded all my expectations. The special-effects (although not ground breaking) were more then I expected for this type of film. The lead actors, especially Madsen, make this movie a pretty good watch.
