I found this to be a nearly perfect sci-fi drama. In that genre, it's #2 on my list after Independence Day. Spacey is terrific in this role--very believable. "How many doctors does this planet have?" is one of the choice bits of comedic satire I loved. And after he consumes a banana, peel and all with relish (gusto...not the condiment!), K-Pax's comment about the produce alone being worth the trip still makes me smile years later. The only detraction was the brutality of the murders and resultant catatonic state of the character whose body K-Pax inhabited. But that's only me--I don't like violence. It really is essential for the plot, and certainly not an unrealistic twist. It's a great movie and story.
