    Let's hope...

    Douglas Tait's acting ability is better than what he did here, rubbish performance, along with several other cast member. I bet that Robert LaSardo wasn't happy to be in this movie, he kept the movie watchable. WTF is it with SWAT shooting at aliens and unloading clip after clip into their bodies, shoot them in the head, that was frustrating to watch. Anyway, a once off movie experience you may wish you didn't have.

    I Have Some Bad News

    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."

    Another gamed rating...

    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!

    Dude the first ten minutes tell you all you need to know

    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.

    Poorly developed movie

    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.

      Maddox: Prisoners know what's going on?

      Weller: As far as they know, its an earthquake. We tell them what's out there and they might get real Catholic real fast. I prefer them the way they are now.

      Maddox: I'm Catholic.

      Weller: Nobody's perfect.
