Jack Sholder's direction is extremely good, not just in the excellent action scenes but in small character touches that add a lot and elevate it above the straight-to-video fodder of the day - it's a real movie movie, so much so that it's surprising he never broke into the mainstream. Nouri manages to make his in the dark cop convincingly human while the film plays well to MacLachlan's slightly alien 80s screen presence as he goes through the film like a man wearing a mask - which, in a way, he is - without ever being a complete blank.

Not surprising considering it's all the same killer, a hedonistic alien who takes what it wants and kills anyone in its way, using human bodies like cars and just getting a new one when they get too damaged to move around in any more. A cops and robbers spin on the body snatchers genre, Michael Nouri's cop finds himself saddled with Kyle MacLachlan's strange FBI man in pursuit of seemingly ordinary law-abiding citizens who suddenly go off on killing rampages in stolen Ferraris and don't go down no matter how many bullets you pump into them.
