...the premise goes nowhere. Instead, it begins and ends as an ordinary police mystery, complete with gun fights, chase scenes, and things blowing up in the night.

Patinkin in one of his best, most memorable performances

Smart sci-fi premise should have made a better movie

It's 70% cop schpiel and 30% science-fiction fun. Switch those percentages and we'd be calling it a classic.

A shallow dissertation on race relations made watchable by the sci-fi/Police thriller theme. Caan and Patankin have good chemistry, and there are some amusing culture clashes.

It begins focusing on the cross-cultural and human dimensions of the tale but it turns into just another police flick replete with crashing cars and endless shootouts.

Uma idéia potencialmente instigante que acaba sendo desperdiçada por um roteiro tomado pelos clichês.

OK s-f that failed to capitalize on an interesting premise.

Fascinating and somewhat timely themed sci-fi flick, a minor classic.

Caan is good, but this is just a very standard buddy cop movie disguised as a sci-fi thriller. Plays better on TV, though.

With the sci-fi and horror aspects toned down, Alien Nation becomes little more than a cop show with a twist-and one that will satisfy only the most gullible of action fans.

Fun gimmick cop movie with aliens
