Alien Nation

Odd little film that inspired a rather interesting television series....sadly...it could have been a heck of a lot better. I think the producers blew most of the budget nailing down the services of James (I'll act in anything if you pay me!) Caan, Mandy Patinkin and Terence (I too will act in anything if you pay me) Stamp and it's a good thing they did because the flik would have been utter crap if they haven't. There are some sci-fi elements with the whole aliens integrating with humans theme but what ALIEN NATION boils down to is an old fashioned buddy cop film. Patinkin, as always, is exceptional!
