Master Jolk A fantastic mixture of science fiction, suspense, comedy and action. A genre-bending classic that you cant help but love. A wonderfully entertaining winner that's just a great buddy-cop movie with lots to offer. A great new twist on a familiar background. A smart, funny and action-packed thrill-ride with solid performances and great special effects. James Caan and Mandy Patinkin are excellent together with their unique and effective chemistry. One of the coolest sci-fi tales of the 80's decade with Terminator and Aliens.

richieandsam ALIEN NATIONThis 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.For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

alienworlds I give this one an eight because I think some good creative thought went into its making. It is not an overly heavy handed movie-the characterizations are realistic and the aliens are believable and interesting. I was impressed by the idea of a group of aliens attempting to blend themselves into human society in this film, with some fairly hilarious results. Many film makers have dealt with the same subject matter and not done it so effectively. I did see the television show it had as a spin off, but I didn't think the television show was all that good. Using James Caan to play a hard nosed detective was a good idea, and I think the film is probably better off for it.I have heard people criticize using him in the film. I think that is the whole point of it, the contrast between the human and the alien personality. The opening scene in the film is great. A treat for SF fans, at least, it was for me. I think newer film makers tend to shy away from trying to make originals like this movie, perhaps going for something that avoids the whole concept of alien societies. I wonder why. Maybe it is just too much work for most of them. Films like this are few and far between.

Jackson Booth-Millard I have seen quite a few science-fiction films where aliens or mutants have become part of the modern world, e.g. Total Recall, and this is a pretty good one. Basically in the not too distant future, Earth has first contact with an alien civilisation, known as the Newcomers (same anatomies as us, only they are all bald and spotty) these aliens, after being quarantined have slowly integrated into human society. When the first Newcomer police officer, Det. Samuel Francisco (The Princess Bride's Mandy Patinkin) is assigned his new partner, he gets Det. Sgt. Matthew Sykes (James Caan), who still has issues about Newcomers. They are searching for the people who killed Sykes' partner, and investigating the Newcomer underworld, and especially Newcomer leader William Harcourt (Terence Stamp). It is both a friendship growing partnership between Sykes and 'George', oh, and I should mention Newcomers can be killed by water, which causes an acidic reaction to their skin. Also starring Kevyn Major Howard as Rudyard Kipling, Leslie Bevis as Cassandra, Peter Jason as Fedorchuk, Conrad Dunn/George Jenesky as Quint, Jeff Kober as Joshua Strader, Roger Aaron Brown as Det. Bill Tuggle, Tony Simotes as Wiltey and The Terminator's Earl Boen as Duncan Crais. With some good action sequences, a good buddy-buddy films, a good sci-fi thriller. Very good!
