Alien agent

It's an empty,  useless movie. Avoid it with no regret, trust me. I'm sorry because I kinda like Mark Dacascos, but this movie is really empty. First of all, it has the word alien in the title, you expect science-fiction all the way, but it turns out that there are only a few words and the special effect (just one) of some shiny particles coming out of their heads once you shoot them with a special bullet: yes, because they are inside the bodies of dead humans, so you can hurt them but not kill them with our weapons! All good, but the result is that there is nothing sciencefictional about this film but a few words that have no other purpose really.
So, Mark Dacascos is Rykker, a sort of alien policeman. Apparently their world is dying, ours is not, for a change. They're looking for a new one, and a group of people wants to cut the research by stopping at ours, not caring at all that it's already taken. Rykker won't accept that, and we'll hunt them and stop them till his last breath! Leader of the bad guys is Isis (Amelia Cooke) and is really not enough. It's plain... the character. The story is lacking a lot. The girl that after having seen her aunt and uncle murdered attaches herself to Rykker is too much: she's supposed to be a teenager, but aside from the fact that her only reaction to what she saw is "I'm alone now, I don't want to be alone, I want to come with you" , I guess she's not much for grieving, she also throws herself at Rykker: why didn't they give him a grown-up partner, if they really wanted it? Maybe they wanted to please every audience... well a certain kind of audience: after the girl with the big breast snogging her boyfriend in a car, after Isis taking a shower, there's the Lolita fantasy...
I read on Imdb it's a Canadian film, still they adopted the Hollywood way with bullets. Everyone in this movie has a machine gun, shooting like they never empty, hitting almost nothing. Even the young girl picks one up and shoots.
It's a bad movie, let's admit it; yes there's worst out there, but only because this one is mostly empty and boring, doesn't make you say yeuch just yawn.
