Attack of the Unknown

I don't know about you, but when I watch a movie, I expect a semblance of realism. This movie was bad. I don't mean like " oh the acting was terrible". No I mean the script of this movie should have never been greenlighted. I can't begin to tell you the amount of just inept weird, stupid things that happened at the start of this movie. I can give 3 distinct things that I would expect anyone who has watched an action film to at least understand. At bare minimum. 1. A police SWAT team, storming a building, are going to wear body armor. 2. A drug kingpin doing a deal for 5 billion dollars, is probably not doing it in an abandoned warehouse on a couple of barrels smoking angel dust with literally ZERO people watching the perimeter during said meeting. 3. No SWAT Team sniper is going to be charging into a room and trying to shoot a sniper rifle in an enclosed room. Like, at bare minimum, these are basic strategy, basic screenwriting types of things. They chose these things either because budget was low, or they literally just didn't think about them. If its low budget, that's a poor excuse. If they didn't think about it, then stop making action films. I mean come on guys. Even fake body armor would've looked better than them wearing the faux vest and t-shirt with SWAT emboldened on the back.

You can see it in Grieco's eyes throughout the movie. "Is this what it's come to? Am I really doing this? Oh please God, let this be over soon!". And when the aliens arrive on the screen, you can't suppress the laughter anymore. They look like something from a 50's film. This is an embarrassment to all participants. I bet they wish they could delete their names from the movie's IMDB page. But they can't. They have to live with it. Poor sods. I lasted an hour. I was curious to see how bad it could get. You can save yourself that hour.

An alien invasion is happening. Los Angeles is being destroyed. Buildings are being shot by alien weaponry. A "SWAT" team sees the aliens, and tries to fight them. Their bullets have no effect; and they lose an officer in the fight. After taking refuge in a remote police station, some of them gather for a quiet moment. "I have some bad news," says one them, "I was diagnosed with cancer."

They only way this garbage rates anything over a 2-3 start is that everyone associated with the film has voted it 9 or 10s.

Don't waste your time... it's a solid pass!

Did a 5th grader write and direct this 103 minutes of garbage? Nope, they would've done a better job.

There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this mess of a film. If you want to get even with someone, make them watch this film. I'm giving it a very generous 2/10 all going to Robert LaSardo and Richard Grieco for being the only somewhat convincing actors. Writer and director Brandon Slagle clearly failed in directing the rest of his cast - as well as this entire film and its screenplay. The dialogue was the dumbest I've heard in a while e.g. "you're my father... what's up dad?" How did any of the 123 producers (yes, you read that number right) decide this film was good enough to release it to the public? Yep, sure will be a winner for that Razzie "worst film of the year" Award.
