Here come the Men In Black.

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2018)

'Men In Black (1997)' is a fast-paced, sort of 'old-school' buddy-cop caper by way of a science-fiction action-comedy, a nineties classic that's propelled by two charismatic lead performances - alongside several entertainingly scene-chewing supporting ones - and some incredibly quotable set-pieces. It's ultimately a movie driven by its well-rounded, likeable central characters and their relationship, though it doesn't spare on the wonderfully practical spectacle, either. While the story is simple, it's certainly effective and highly entertaining right the way through, not to mention properly funny at points. This makes for an enjoyable movie that knows exactly how seriously to take itself. It's wholly focused on giving its audience as good a time as possible. 8/10
