James Caan, Mandy Patinkin and Terence Stamp star in this 1988 sci-fi film. This takes place in 1991 L.A. where alien newcomers have adapted to life on Earth after 3 years. Soon, we meet veteran cop, Sykes (Caan) who decides to work with an alien detective, Francisco (Patinkin) to stop a corrupt, alien businessman, Harcourt (Stamp) from unleashing a drug stimulant that enhances strength to his kind. This isn't a bad sci-fi flick with some action, the cast is decent and there's good make-up effects. The film launched a series
and if you're into sci-fi, give this a chance.
