Extinction (2018)
Far and away better than some reviewers would have you believe
I never write reviews on IMDB, but this was a such a gem that I felt a need to balance out some of the negative reviews.
This is solid 9 science fiction.
Try not to learn anything about the plot other than it's an Invasion movie. The writing acting, and dialog, were more than sufficient to convey the nifty story.
The FX were really top notch, which on a small budget film like this really shows of the skill of the crew.
To say anymore would be to give to much away.
Dog Watch (1997)
Suprisingly good but dark crime drama
Sam Elliot is brilliant as a tough San Francisco Detective Charlie Fallon. When his partner is killed while meeting with an informant Fallon snaps, beats the informant to death, and dumps his body in a river. The next day Fallon is assigned a rookie partner, and given the task of investigating the informants murder. Sam Elliot does a good job of portraying a man who tortured by the guilt of his own murderous actions, and grief over the death of his partner who may have been involved in police corruption.
