Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A ruthless and murderous alien (beefy Saulis Sipans) comes to Earth to hunt humans in health spas and strip clubs. Police detective Sully Sullivan (a likable performance by Eric Roberts) investigates.Writer/director Kevin S. Tenney keeps the entertaining story moving along at a constant quick pace, offers a wealth of choice cheesy one-liners, stages the action scenes with stirring aplomb (there's a doozy of a set piece that blatantly copies the police station raid from "The Terminator"), and delivers a pleasing plethora of tasty gratuitous female nudity (special kudos here to slinky brunette Monika Verbutaile and especially busty blonde Egle Zakareviciute). The solid acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Arnold Voslo as mysterious extraterrestrial cop Warden, John Rhys-Davies as pompous bumbling jerk Wyznowski, Tony Lo Bianco as huffy superior Captain Tanzini, James W. Quinn as Sully's sarcastic partner Phil Yamata, Al Sapienza as brainy forensics expert Medina, and Sarah Kaite Coughlan as Sully's foxy teacher wife Susan. Chris Manley's sharp cinematography boasts several funky POV shots. Harry Manfredini's robust score hits the rousing spot. Fun schlock.

Earth Alien is a movie is picked up for 3 euro, along with the action classic The Rock. i didn't know what to expect, but when I finally sat down to watch it, I still don't know what i saw. I mean, damn, the effects are really bad, but in a good way. obvious CG makes this an even more enjoyable movie experience. it's like one big Terminator clone, the nudity is in your face all the time, the gore, however, isn't really present, although it racks up a high body count with some really funny head shots. The acting is OK for this type of movie. Eric Roberts does his part, Arnold Vosloo is good as the sympathetic Warden, John Rhys-Davies is left to provide comic relief, and he evens gets himself killed, but no one else really stands out, they just kind fade into the blend of boobs and bloodshed All in all, it's not that bad, but nothing memorable

It's no fantastic movie, granted.The acting tends to be wooden, there's too much nudity which, for me, tends to lean to a belief to save a movie because it has nothing else to go on, there tends to be borrowing from various other movies and TV shows, but .......the story is sound at least. Don't know if the same scenario exists in reality, but other aspects certainly do. Obvious plot holes that one might see at one point in the movie are solved at other points. People are reacting at points as they should be reacting, both professionally, occupationally, and personally.To me, this is that "Saturday matinée movie". Go to see something that suggests an alternate society, world, to get lost in for 70 minutes or so. I work nights and for me, I rent videos to replace the "bore me to tears" dribble of daytime television. This movie accomplishes that.If one were to watch it, by all means, rent it cheap.Sci-Fi is, in its basic, the situation of "What if?". This movie does that, tells a nice little story, and wraps it decently up.

Personally, I like the old New Line movie, "The Hidden". Sure, it's a little on the goofy side, but it's a guilty pleasure. There was a part of me that believed that, with all the remakes that are being done now, that it was only a matter of time before The Hidden would get remade at New Line. Probably with Ashton Kutcher as the alien. I was bracing myself for that news when I happened upon Endangered Species. Well, it looks like somebody beat New Line to the punch.I haven't seen anyone rip off a movie so directly since J.T. Petty tried to pass off his "Rear Window inspired" Mimic 3 as something original. "Endangered Species" marks a new career low for Eric Roberts and John Rhys- Davies. Do yourself a favor, skip over this one and rent "The Hidden" instead.
