Alien Nation (1988)
This “science fiction” film is directed by Graham Baker and stars James Caan. Aliens have arrived on earth and now live amongst the human population, a human and alien police detective have to work together to solve some murders.
As much as people might like to dress this film up as science fiction it is really just a bland buddy cop film with a gimmick. The plot is pretty similar to every other buddy cop film you have ever seen and fails to capitalise on the unique elements provided by the set up. In the end the problems with the film are more about what it could have been than what it is so we end up with a passable effort at least.
3/5
