Folks, this movie is actually good Science Fiction! There are two characters here that are probably the first believable aliens I've seen on the screen. I'm talking about the two bad guys... They absolutely steal the movie. At first they seem to be standard issue alien bounty hunters (:->), but it became increasingly obvious as the film progressed that they were quite literally bloodhounds. As an example, the way they react to the hero's territorial markings (graffiti) is beautiful, straight out of a textbook. By the end of the movie you can tell that they, too, are not only slaves but effectively domestic animals, bred for the purpose from some hunting carnivore. I'm amazed that this movie hasn't been better recieved by the SF crowd... all I'd heard of it was "oh yes, nice twist, the alien's black". -- Name: Peter da Silva Graphic: `-_-' UUCP: ...!shell!{graffiti,baylor}!peter IAEF: ...!kitty!baylor!peter
