Summary: Crappiest film ever seen
Review:
This has definitely become my very favorite, toppling Deep Blue Sea from the top of my list of raspberry films. It is not only that the plot is anything but plausible - the acting is awful and the punch lines are out of line. Unlike other sci-fi spoofs, this movie has very few jokes that make it worth viewing.

Only the extras among the cast playing Mexicans look like such - and they don't speak a word in the whole movie.

**** SPOILERS AHEAD ****

In fact, the 'Mexican' girl admits to come from Sacramento at the end of the film, right before she chases Gruner across the desert. This scene and the effects of the atomic explosion make you laugh in desperation after 50 minutes of boring, pointless action.

After seeing this film, I still wonder who had been serving the drops (and why) to Gruner during the fight in the saloon, and if this was supposed to be a prank at all. I can understand the director's acknowledging his father's enduring patience in the credits.

Summarizing: If you have more than average sense of humor and mercy AND your friends are joining in, rent this film. You will enjoy ranting on about it.

Summary: Gruner is awesome, movie isn't his best though.
Review: Lt. Sean Lambert (Olivier Gruner) and his team of mercenaries (Glenn Plummer, William Zabka) are deployed to investigate the crash of a squadron of F117's in Mexico. Sean, his team, and a couple scientists sent by the Air Force go to investigate the crash of the F117 to find a alien spacecraft instead. They must track and destroy an alien that defies physics.

The movie has pretty good special effects, the alien is done very well. The F117's also look pretty sharp, except for the fact that F117's aren't used for dogfighting. There are also some pretty nice explosions to go along with the alien.

Overall though, the movie fails to live up to expectations. You leave thinking you just watched a cheap ripoff of the Predator or Independence Day. However, all is not wasted as Olivier Gruner has some pretty nice fighting scenes which aren't bad at all. The movie could have been so much more with the actors that were employed. If you pick-up the DVD version, don't expect to see anything but some Bloopers after the credits roll

Summary: Great FX but......
Review: There are some great set pieces in this film that make it worth seeing if you're into special effects. The first is a great dogfight between stealth bombers and an alien spaceship. Then there are the shoot outs with the alien and a nuclear explosion. The film is basically about a team who defend Earth against an alien species. Olivier Gruner leads the team and the excellent Brad Dourif is their commander. The problem with the film is that the action comes at the start and end of the film. The middle 40-50 minutes drag terribly making it an effort to watch in one sitting. The dialogue ranges from OK to pretty lame, as does the acting. Still, Dourif and Gruner are always watchable and Gruner has a great stunt at the start. It's a shame, but not a complete waste of time thanks to the effects.
