Just. Don't. Watch. You have been warned.

Pretty lame science fiction actioner with a thin story, one-dimensional and poorly developed characters and bland villains with basic motivations (and they infect humans like parasites apparently). I had hoped this would be at least moderately entertaining but was just stupid with Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo sleepwalking through their roles. If there's any plus, at least some of the effects were above some SyFy TV movie (for what little that's worth) but this is one to completely skip. **1.5/5**
Great cast, and although the concept (if you like that kind of thing) was decent, it lacked any real direction.⭐⭐
