This movie has been very unfairly underrated for to long. Charlie Sheen's performance was one of his career bests though his presence probably put a lot of people of going to see this film. David Twohy (Pitch Black) plays it by the numbers here but creates a very believable conspiracy film with Charlie Sheen playing a radio astronomer who tells all and sundry that he has picked up on extraterrestrial signals, when no one takes him seriously he gets in his car and goes of on a quest to get proof. Inventive if not original, this is one of my personal favourites, I highly recommend you take a look at this when it next airs on TV. Peter.

James Woods plays a scuzzy, low-life TV producer (the kind of character he plays exceptionally well and that you've come to love from prior performances in films like 'Salvador') who gets hooked on watching a pirate snuff film channel, but soon he discovers everything is not as it seems to be and that the transmission wasn't broadcast at all but actually a tape which brainwashes him into acts of self mutilation on his body, soon he is finds that he can hardly even control himself or his body.

A great first half with terrific performances from the three leads, steps up a gear or two in the second half. A highly creepy and original movie that just gets weirder and weirder! Highly recommended. Peter.
