release year: 1987
genre: sci-fi
viewing setting: home DVD, 4/17/00
what I expected: wasn't sure
what I got: pretty good little sci-fi/action yarn
synopsis: An alien keeps taking over peoples' bodies and committing mayhem.
impressions: Great fun. Watching people drive around like maniacs, stealing and shooting everything in sight, was a lot of fun. Interlaced with this was a good plot about a human cop and the second alien (who was chasing the first.)
acting: Good jobs by Michael Nouri and Kyle MacLachlan as the protagonists.
final word: quirky and fun
rating: C+
