Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Alan Jones
This box-office smash is based on a short-lived 1980s comic strip and stars Tommy Lee Jones as the agent who recruits cop Will Smith into a top-secret organisation responsible for regulating all extraterrestrial activity on Earth. While investigating an alien sighting, the pair become involved in the search for a missing galaxy to appease an interstellar force and avert the Earth's destruction. Great special effects, inventive alien designs and Smith and Jones's hip, hilarious double act make director Barry Sonnenfeld's Lethal Weapon-style buddy picture a fast-paced pleasure.
