The Arrival

Directed by:  David Twohy
Starring:  Charlie Sheen, Ron Silver, Teri Polo, Lindsey Crouse
Running Time:  1h 55min

The surprisingly thing about this movie is how poorly it did in theatres.  Independence Day was good but you would think that it would only fuel more interest in this X-Files episode gone Hollywood.  Sheen is interesting and plays straight in a movie that can be taken two ways.  If yo feel like involving yourself, and truly believing in the government conspiracy/aliens among us idea you'll have a blast.  It will have its tense moments and nifty special effects that you're looking for.  On the other hand, if you get a laugh out of cheesy sci-fi movies, this movie will provide plenty of laughs.  With the dialogue offering some classic cheese and the appearance of Sheen only brings images of Hot Shots and other such Zucker fare.  Either way, it works!

Grade: B
