They Live Among Us

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2009)

Pretty funny and original sci-fi/comedy about a team of FBI agents whose task it is to keep track of the aliens living among us and eradicate those who wish to do us harm.
The odd couple pairing of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith as the salty veteran agent and the hotshot young recruit, respectively, works pretty well. I'm not a big fan of Smith's antic schtick, but it's humorous to watch Jones's deadpan reactions to it.
The makeup and visual effects team are responsible for numerous witty sight gags, and Danny Elfman provides a playful fun house score.
Grade: B+
