Apartheid Rocks!

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2009)

Ultimately, this is a buddy flick. The question of whether there's hope for humans to overcome our fear of people (or species) who are different is played out through the relationship between one of the smarter aliens (who responds to the name Christopher) and a protagonist human who starts out as a infanticidal antagonist with a dogmatic commitment to duty. But rather than a relationship like Riggs and Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon series - this one's more like Willis and Jeriba in Enemy Mine. In fact...oh forget it.
