Nothing special but a decent enough watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Travolta hams it up and Washington is as dependable as ever.
Oh dear oh dear. Look I am a massive fan of the Alien franchise and welcomed a prequel especially with Ridley Scott in the chair but this was so uninspiring. It looked great in parts and a few questions were answered but the direction was really lackluster, most of the characters were badly written and you could pick holes in the damn thing all night. Very disappointed.
An absolute slow burner and not to everyone's tastes but this is a great little gem. A revenge movie of sorts but shot on a shoestring budget and refreshingly lacking in cliches. There are times especially in the first 40 minutes when you question what the hell you are watching but slowly everything comes into focus with a very hard hitting last third. A pleasant surprise.
