The Quick and the Dead
1995
A black ops reconnaissance team is sent to investigate the crash of an unidentified aircraft. When they arrive, they find strange markings and residue visible only in infrared. As the team gets deeper in and tries to figure out the source of the markings, they discover that they are being hunted by an alien expedition to Earth.

I've just come off the back of an Ingmar Bergman session, so I thought I'd give my brain a rest. Well, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to start it again after this derivative and badly acted sci-fi drivel. Something crashes and a crack troop of American soldiers goes missing. "Lt. Col. Adrian" (Xavi Israel) can't get permission to investigate so he forms an illicit squad and off they go. Shortly, they discover that something has crashed and the occupant is not up for taking any prisoners. They have loads of artillery, it has a nifty purple laser and is invisible too. No contest thinks me, but sadly no - we have to have a contest and as this rumbles along we see a slew of D-list performers fall prey - not quickly enough - to our visiting arbiter from the Screen Actor's Guild. Perhaps he could have tackled the writer too, and the director - indeed just about everyone involved in this shockingly bad capitalisation on the "Predator" brand? Even the computer seems to have caught the mediocrity bug as the CGI is straight out of an old episode of "Stargate" and I'm afraid that by twenty minutes in, well I was ready for more Bergman. Sorry - not even on the Sci-Fi Channel at 4am.
