katikat | Movie Night: Alien Agent

Title: Alien Agent (2007)

Cast: Mark Dacascos, Amelia Cooke, Billy Zane, Emma Lahana

Rating: 3/10

Good grief, that was bad. I mean, it's a B sci-fi movie, I don't expect Oscar material from this kind of films. But some at least have engaging characters. This one though... It started in an interesting way: an alien agent has to stop a commando of criminals from his planet from invading Earth. Sounds intriguing, right? Wrong. Unnecessary female nudity, completely illogical decisions, fights won and lost at random... Nyah.

I like Mark Dacascos. And I was excited to see Emma Lahana again - Jennifer from Haven - but... Eh. I'm not sure if it was the script's or the director's fault but even actors like Lahana who usually do a really good job - see Haven - were really bad here. Lahana's character burst into tears at random, tried to climb Dacascos' character, Rykker, like a tree... As I said, eh.

The only interesting thing - Rykker's relationship with Isis - was left almost unexplained even though they should've been very close at one point and now fought for opposite sides... Yeah, I'm disappointed. 3 stars for Dacascos kicking ass a few times, that's always nice to watch.
