CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
While The Invasion may sound like the title of a war movie, it's actually the fourth incarnation of the 1956 sci-fi/horror B-movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, in which alien pods land on earth and take over the bodies of humans. "The latest and lamest version" is the way Manohla Dargis describes it in the New York Times. It's "godawful," writes Jack Mathews in the New York Daily News, who suggests that the title ought to be Night of the Living Dud. Likewise Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Daily News comments that the film comes to the screen DOA -- "killed by Hollywood conventionality and bland uniformity." And while some critics suggest that the performance of Nicole Kidman nearly redeems everything else that is wrong about The Invasion, Lou Lumenick in the New York Post will have none of that argument. "The only thing that's frightening this time around is the sheer, across-the-board incompetence of the filmmakers and the hugely narcissistic performance of its leading lady," he writes.
