Watch The Sender For Free

Expected more

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Just watched it, loved it, here's why:1.It's got Michael Madsen in a starring role which nowadays doesn't happen anymore. 2.It's got real car chases with real explosions which you don't see in modern movies3.It's got everything you look for in a 90s B-Movie: bad but ambitious script, overacting actors and ed wood style special effects.4.It's got action & sci-fi with extra cheese (they don't make em like that anymore)the perfect 90s nostalgia movie-must watch!

"Hey, I just learned my daughter isn't going to die like I thought... whatever.. let's go home" "Hey, some chick just removed three bullets from my chest and saved my life, but they took my daughter... whatever.. she's hot... what bomb? Oh that? whatever..." "Hey look, the car doesn't need to be started, it just runs on it's on... whatever""Hey, this chick is now naked... cool. Alien? OK, whatever.... jeez this sucks." "Hey, look, I just sent two Black Ops dudes through a wall.... twenty minutes ago some UFO geek protester was kicking my ass... cool... whatever. Check out how shiny my classic car is... even in this desert" "Hey, a space ship. That's neat. I wouldn't want to have to go against it. Hey, should I ask about my daughter?" "Hey, we landed too damn far from my daughter... " "Hey, look, we were hit by a shoulder fired rocket, oh well, some spaceship... and look the helicopters that fly what. 120mph max are shooting us in the same spot over and over... oh well. Hey, one of them just took out the side of an office building and crashed. Oh well... when's this fecking movie end?""Hey, check it out, my dad ain't dead after all. Here, go see your grandpa and leave us alone for awhile... I hate kids. How did I get roped into making this piece of sht movie?"

This isn't the worst movie I have watched this year - but pretty close.Totally moronic "entertainment".Stupidities include our hero shooting the air hoses on the back of a truck to de-couple the trailer - huh? How is cutting the air to the brakes going to make the tractor unit and the flatbed part company?There is a prolonged fight on the back of a (not very) speeding flatbed truck in which our hero (played by Michael Madsen) is punched in the face several times and doesn't loose his sunglasses. Most people's glasses will fall off if they sneeze too hard. This guy's must have been stapled to his head, or maybe nailed - because Madsen's performance makes the hero look like a potato faced plank of wood. He reacts to everything that happens to him and around him with a blank non-reaction that is incredible to watch. During the course of the movie this guy's daughter is kidnapped, his house blown up, he's shot three times in the chest, resurrected by an shape-shifting alien, told his daughter is capable of interstellar travel by thought alone, he sees innocent members of the public gunned down, is nearly killed several times, sees old friends betray him and then get killed in front of him, kills many many people with an endlessly self-reloading hand gun and throughout all this mayhem and carnage, wanders around looking like he is suffering from constipation. Nothing seems to surprise, shock, baffle, or amaze him. Nothing registers but blank bovine stupidity. The only time he becomes at all animated is during one of the interminable car chase sequences when one of the bad guy's endless supply of black vans explodes right in front of him. Woooohoooo! Mongo like car crash!The ending is horrendously overlong and Michael Madsen's acting at the sight of his supposedly long dead father is a wonder to behold. His character has been supposedly obsessed by his father's death and when he, miraculously, gets to meet him, what does he do? Sort of grunts a bit and looks even more constipated than normal for a moment then sends his daughter over: "Go meet your grandfather" He doesn't even take his fecking sunglasses off!I had previously thought Sterling Hayden was the worst actor in the history of ever (apart from me) but on the strength of this movie alone his position has been usurped by Madsen. At least you could hear what Hayden said. His lines may have been delivered like the mail but at least they were delivered and not mumbled into the top of his shirt.Though, having said all that, the best bit of bad acting in this film comes pretty early on from someone else, Steven Williams as the evil Lockwood. Lockwood is asked a question by his evil underling and does some quick thinking. You can tell he is doing some quick thinking because his eyes quickly move from side to side like he's watching an off-screen ping-pong game.I wish I had been watching it with him and not this piece of sh!t. (The music is awful as well).

Love Michael Madsen! Unfortunately, if you take out ALL the chase scenes and ALL the explosions, and ALL the gunfights, the movie last a good 15 minutes. You want action, you get action, you want a story or some sort of recognizable plot look elsewhere. It's a time killer on a rainy Saturday afternoon.
