Let's face it: Hauer enjoys it. It's not about wasting his talent, it's about earning money doing fun stuff that people will watch over and over again through the years when it shows up on SciFi or Spike because it's tongue-in-cheek fare that makes no bones about being anything deeper or more meaningful than an alien's irrational fear of toilet paper.

Not everyone is going to watch 'Remains of the Day' at 2AM. There's a time for everything--for intellectual gratification, for aesthetic stimulation--and for just plain blowing the snot out of all things alien and toothy.

On the 'mindless debauchery' scale, this film gets a 10.

This is one of those films you see on ITV at 2.20am Thursday morning. Its consigned to forever be overlooked, stepped on and pushed away. But it's also a b-movie of extraordinary magnitude. A mix of horror, action, breasts(Kim Cattral's, not Rutger Hauer's!) and witty one liners. It never seeks to be better than it is, and in doing so is all the better for it.

With a name like Dick Durkin in the credits, you know you're in for a treat. True, the ending crumbles somewhat(kinda like monty python + holy grail i thought), but the rest of the film is low budget gold. The use of London is great, and the supporting characters such as Cattral and Pete Postlethwaite lend some gravitas to the movie also.

Its a fun way to spend a few hours if you dont have the company of a good women.

Any film where a police officer can call a guard dog a 'dickhead' has to worth it's weight in platinum....

Remember....if you're gonna watch it, be sure to get some BIGGER F**KING GUNS!!!!!!!

Rutger is a fantastic actor,yet he alone couldnt hold this tragety together.For some unknown reason they thought it was good to cast kim katrall,not a great idea for she cant act to save her skin.The future looks bleak,especially with the likes of this horrid alien scum on the loose.

I am pretty much happy to get anything Rutger Hauer is in. Here he is a leather and jackbooted paranoid broken down gun happy cop, addicted to coffee, chocolate and sugar. Something monstrous took out his partner, and he has not recovered. The backdrop is a flooded London after severe global warming. He has the usual knowitall egghead partner, who soon turns into a junior version of him. Kim Catrall is around for the obligatory shower scene and psycho joke.

Who could not love this movie. i mean the consept is just so out there that you cna belive it.
the actors do a good job to support the script and i think that the producers have gone the right way about how they presented this movie.
Any horror fan should love this and enjoy it. Definaly one of the classics

Rutger Hauer stars alongside Kim Cattrall in this surprisingly good Actio Sci-Fi Movie. An interesting play on the usual "Future Post Apocalyptic society" is the Horror aspect of the film. While the Monster doesnt look very good the script holds the movie together. This is from the writer of the K9 and Timecop sequels and is probably along those lines of quality

In a futuristic London, the rising sea levels mean that large areas are under feet of water. Hauer plays a cop who previously lost his partner to some strange creature. Now the creature is back and its after him.
