A fast and furious blast of sci-fi action that was obviously inspired by The Terminator.

One of those pleasant surprises that turned out far more intelligent and exciting than it looked, and it holds up well nearly 20 years later.

What could have been a great sci-fi horror flick with awesome effects priorities talky buddy-cop thriller and alien comedy clichés

Full of great car chases . . . gleefully violent antisocial behavior, and enough bullet-fests to qualify for an honorable mention from the John Woo appreciation society

Superior B-movie fare cleverly disguised as a Terminator rip-off.

An interesting s-f, crime thriller. Fast-paced, action-packed and most enjoyable.
