The movie has a promising premise. rednecks got abducted by little aliens on steroids, probed, and god knows what else. The rednecks then decide to go abduct one of them. now thats bad-ass. from there, things get kind of grey. its almost as if the script was written by someone who was bi-polar. Like every creature of the unknown, they come with rules and stipulations. while the rules are spottily explained throughout the movie, they are contradicted, broken, and in the end, just seems like an excuse to have a movie, rather than it being ended in the first few minutes. IF YOU Haven't SEEN THIS MOVIE YET, BY NO MEANS READ THE REST OF THIS. when a writer and director go over a script and plot, at some point, someone has to realize that people will critique it, and by god, maybe it should make sense. these are my main problems with the plot.
1)if you had spent 7 (?) years trying to capture an alien, would you not have figured out what the hell to do with it by then? 2)The girlfriend is just a huge question mark. "i hate you, i don't, im leaving, but back, i want to go live with my mother, i never want to see you again, ill never leave you" 3)if you had a very dangerous being captive, would you not secure the damn thing in every possible way? duct tape? these things have solved intergalactic travel. 4)why does everyone manage to let their attention wander from this thing at some point? especially after the 2nd or 3rd time it escaped. 5)the "sheriff" shot through a door. on the otherside of which, people were screaming and obviously fighting for their lives. to make a point? 6)the ending, while achieving maximum bad-ass effect, contradicted the whole movie. although the revamped "flaming bag of poo on the doorstep" gag in the end was pretty priceless, and actually connected with something said earlier in the film. it may have been the only time that occurred in the movie.
6/10 if only because with the budget, and the intestine tug of war, it was entertaining.
