Review of Alien Hunter (2003) by Master Xi-Ying W — 14 Feb 2013

Actually, this "made-for-TV event" wasn't all that bad. I know it's a ripoff of a bunch of other more famous movies, but it was tolerable.

The only things that bugged me where 1) the predictable ending, 2) the over-the-top behaviour of the Main Antagonist character (was it bad acting on the part of John Lynch, poor script writing, poor directing, or all three?), which was just too hard for audiences to find "believable," and my personal favourite 3) the cliche where the tough Black guy always takes a bullet for the team (gets killed) in the end.

For some reason, I found myself rooting for the Russians more than any of the other characters. At least the Captain played his part with a little depth. It seems like everyone else was there for the paycheck.

This flick could have been WAY better.
