I had high hopes for a more serious Independence day type alien invasion film. This is more like an urban war film that had more in common with a call of duty type video game. The effects are ok, not wowed by the alien design to be honest. It has a good cast who do their best to fight aliens that aren't there, and working with green screens etc. An ok war film, a disappointing alien film.

"One of the greatest urban crime films ever made. The first hour takes place in an industrialist’s living room, with huge picture windows that look over the city without seeing it, yet Kurosawa’s camera work is so deft and inventive you never feel the constriction—only pummeling suspense and a moral quandary. Toshiro Mifune plays coat-and-tie decency as well as he does his wild men, and Kurosawa descends into the lower depths with blinding clarity."
