MCT:July 7, 2008It was a decent movie. I just saw this movie. I cant believe I just saw young looking joe morton with dreads.lol But the movie is decent once you get in to it. I never heard of it till it came out tv late at night one day.

Prometedora pero decepcionante. Tiene buenos momentos, sobre todo los más ítimos y de diálogo, pero se va en picada una vez empieza "la persecución", cuando pierde balance y tropieza buscando moméntum. El comentario social también resulta algo superficial. / Promising but dissapointing. Has its good moments, especially the more intimate, dialogue-filled ones, but goes downhill once "the chase" begins, as it loses balance and stumbles looking for momentum. Its social commentary is also somewhat superficial.

MCT:April 25, 2008It's been a long while since I've seen it, but I remember it being good!
This is where the film "Men in Black" got the idea from? -
MCT:February 17, 2008A very different kind of sci fi movie that is kind of dated. Joe Morton(Smallville and Eureka) gives an amazing performance as the main character and he does it all without uttering a line. Not one word. Bill Cobbs is also excellent in a small supporting role as he was very funny for the short time he was on screen. Just be prepared for those feet.

For what it is, it's well made. Put together on a very small budget, a classic really was born out of this one. And Joe Morton acting without speaking the whole time? Great performance. Loved the scenes at the pre-refurbished Ellis Island.

MCT:December 9, 2007A unique blend of racial commentary and immigrant fable from John Sayles. Joe Morton's worldess performance carries an awful lot of weight.

This one was out on the fringe in the 80s and still feels it now. Notice the dating with the video games...only slows down a bit because of the "moral tale attached to it.

A deceptively intelligent "stranger in a strange land" story, with well-drawn characters and stylish villians.

At first glance, this movie seems like it would fall into the category of "It was so bad, it was funny" But John Sayles deserves credit for actually making relevant a lot of social issues in this movie and Joe Morton does a terrific job of playing the mute alien crash-landing in Harlem. A special release just came out on DVD and I would recommend it to anyone who's open-minded enough to try something new and a little bit different, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
