Unrealistic, incomplete movie that fails to be what it tries to be.

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2000)

SPOILER
The following contains information about the content of the movie. From the tag line (fight evil with evil) we can get an idea of what was the idea behind the movie: A terrible dangerous killer, who later turns into a hero because only his "talents" can save the survivors of a spaceship crash. The opening of the movie starts with picturing HOW dangerous the killer is in a way that seems to be stolen directly from movies like Con Air. However, then the rest of the movie fails completely in realizing that expectation: the killer turns out not to be dangerous at all and doesn't show any special gifts except being strong and (how convenient) being able to see in the dark. Finally the movie gets very unrealistic, while at first the dark creatures seem to be able to kill a heavily armed group of people in a steel bunker, later it turns out more and more to be possible to walk outside with just a flash light and only seeing a creature once every 10 minutes or so, where are the other billion creatures suddenly? The whole movie gave me the idea of being too little of a good book to get across what the original writer much have intended. Perhaps half of it should have left out so the rest could have been worked out better.
