TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Woodyanders 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.

adamoconnell 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

Paul Andrews Endangered Species starts as a city lives in fear, a city in fear of a serial killer who has claimed dozens of victims already. Lieutenant Mike 'Sully' Sullivan (Eric Roberts) & Lieutenant Wyznowski (John Rhys-Davies) are on the case but the only connecting factor is that all the killings have thus far took place in health or fitness clubs. The elusive killer has potentially made a mistake though as he left a witness alive at his last massacre, while visiting her in hospital Sully spots a mysterious guy (Arnold Vosloo) talking to her who runs away when challenged. Positive that the guy is involved with the killings Sully chases & catches him but he isn't prepared for what he will eventually discover. The guy is an alien space warden assigned to look after the human race from intergalactic poachers like the one killing people in the city & taking their skins to turn into alien clothes. Sully & the alien guy team up to stop the alien hunter...Written & directed by Kevin Tenney one has to say that this low budget rip-off of The Hidden (1987) & Dark Angel (1990) turned out a lot better than I was expecting, it ain't no masterpiece but provides some cheap & sometimes amusing sci-fi horror action entertainment. Endangered Species isn't that original & falls into the human cop vs alien killer type sub genre & as I say it's not too bad for it's type. The character's are OK, the alien guy's are rather underdeveloped but the mismatched double team of cops & regular B-Movie stars Eric Roberts & John Rhys-Davies play off each other quite nicely & there are one or two amusing moments between them. The story about an alien killing human beings for the skin to make jumpers out of could have been rather fun but the film tends to take itself a little bit too seriously & that plot comes across as too simplistic as the skinning & making jumpers & coats angle is largely ignored & a much more standard & forgettable serial killer on the loose approach is taken. The pace isn't too bad & there's a surprising amount of action & set-pieces from car chases, explosions, fights, shoot-outs & a couple of massacres, while none of it's particularly big budget or spectacular it kept me entertained & I reckon there's fun to be had here if your in the right mood which I evidently was.I was a little disappointed in the gore levels here, apart from some gunshot wounds & a few dead bodies there isn't any. The action is pretty good with the highlight being an impressive car chase as Sully & the alien guy chase an invisible van through the traffic in a sequence with a fair amount of stunts & exploding cars. There is also a sequence in which the near invincible alien hunter enters a police station systematically going through it shooting all the cops in a scene which plays like a homage or rip-off (whichever way you look at it) to the similar scene in The Terminator (1984). There's some gratuitous nudity too if that's your thing, the opening sequence in particular features a blonde with big breast's taking a shower. For a few minutes.Although set in the US this was shot on location in Vilnius in Lithuania, the film does have a slightly cheap made-for-telly look about it but not as cheap a some low budget horror films I have seen recently that look like they were shot on a camcorder. There's a good B-Movie cast here including the prolific Eric Roberts, Arnold Vosloo who went from The Mummy Returns (2001) to this & of course John Rhys-Davies who provides the comic relief.Endangered Species is a half decent little sci-fi action horror thriller that does at least provide sporadic moments of fun & entertainment throughout & overall passes the time harmlessly enough if your in the right mood.

ghoulieguru 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.
