Craig is a good lead and Ford has his most memorable film in years but the emotionless aliens with as little back story or meaning as possible, let the movie down. It’s an original take on both the western & invasion film and will keep your interest for a couple of hours but you won’t be thinking about it much after you’ve left the theatre.

Despite starring the most unlikeable and screechy characters I’ve endured in recent memory (the sex pistols were essentially anti-social dickheads), Gary Oldman’s performance, the decent soundtrack and wanting to see how it ends, stopped me from turning this off early.

Very much looking forward to seeing “Tinker” tonight. Unanimous critical praise and Geary Oldman back in a lead role make this prime candidate foe my favourite film of 2011. I’ve already seen more than my share of new releases this year, although nothing really sticks in my memory add a classic yet.Hopefully this will change tonight.
