Most Overrated Shlock

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2004)

It's more dim than dark. This is such an inconsistent, ill-conceived mess, i shudder when people rave about it. What are they reacting to? The director's music video clout? The "coolness" of the "goth" looking aliens (who don't have a clear motive and are far too conveniently placed)?
And it is a gracious act of charity to endow Kiefer Sutherland's short-of-breath acting technique with any dramatic significance. What a horrible actor...He actually managed to distract me from the rest of this mess of a set-piece-excuse for a film.
One of the most overrated films of 1998. Overdub it with maniacal and loud circus music!
