I went in on this knowing it was gonna be bad, but not this bad. I wonder if I ever seen anything worse. Give it a big PASS if you want to see this.
Plenty of uselless scenes to pad the run time because the script is pretty lousy.
Not much though was put into the operation of police procedures.
Not that it has to follow every rule of law but it should have some sort of realism to it. Guns uniforms and general operation should be something more reaslistic - as well as when bullets hit walls and window...things tend to explode or break apart - but not in this movie.
I've seen worse and I know there are many other worse movies out there - but this is not really good.
I invested money into this, but if I had any input in the production, it would be 10 000 times better than it is, so my investment was only money and not any decisions behind the making of this mess.
With the money spent on this, I could have made something far better than this mess and had the proper actors to fill the roles.

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.

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!

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."
