Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

GazerRise Fantastic!

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

wolfgangbrandstetter 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!

mergatroid-1 I just have to say this: The worst thing about this movie was Michael Madsen acting. Does this guy even have any expressions? During the entire movie the feeling I got from him was "yeah, so?".Never excited, never raises his voice, never acts like any more than a cardboard cutout. The movie would have been a lot better if he wasn't in it.Overall, this movie wasn't quite as bad as some of the others would have you believe. I had just bought 4 stinkers to watch during the weekend (I like watching bad movies). This movie was the best of the lot (which tells you how bad the other movies were).In this movie, aliens can travel anywhere because their females have a "sender gene". They had made sure that over the years no humans with this gene were allowed to continue on, although they never explain exactly how that was accomplished. Enter Michael Madsen's character and his daughter, who of course has the gene. The government wants her, and the aliens are trying to strengthen her gift because they accidentally killed her grandfather. The hottie alien in this case has gotten to know humans and now believes they aren't as bad as previously thought.So, we have (too many) gun battles where Michael Madsen likes to hold his gun sideways like an idiot "gangsta" or something. They never run out of ammo (hey, isn't that so last century?). Of course, no one but the heroes ever hit anything even though they are up against soldiers with M16s. Speaking of soldiers, they should have gotten them uniforms that fit. They looked pretty dumb. Also too many car chases where our heroes always get away.This could have been a good movie. There were some good actors in it, and overall the acting was OK (except for Michael Madsen).Also, they should have gotten rid of the bleached blond black guy with the one earring who was supposed to be in charge. He was a horrible actor, and his "look" didn't fit the part at all. He looked like he should be dressing the performers back stage at a theatrical stage show.The best actor in the movie (and I guess he's a bit of a character actor) was R. Lee Ermey as the bad ass Colonel Rosewater, but I've never seen him be bad at any part he's played.Got nothing to do? Bored? Only movie in the $3 bin you haven't seen? Buy it and watch it once. Better than nothing.

Jan Strydom THE SENDER is a rather entertaining sci-fi "B" movie that manages to pass the time, albeit its far from being a masterpiece, its a film produced by Richard Pepin and Joseph Merhi who are known for creating films with paper thin plots but have loads of car chases and shootings, however many of their films are pretty entertaining such as RIOT for instance.The plot here as you might expect is also paper thin only this one has a bit of a Sci-Fi spin to it, the acting isn't perfect but Micheal Madsen, R. Lee Emery and Steven Williams were fun to watch, the action scenes consist of car chases and shootings plus it features a spaceship being chased by two gunships.Overall, its an entertaining "B" movie that passes the time but if you're already familiar with the work of Pepin and Merhi you might notice the usual trademarks in this one.

merklekranz Michael Madsen, and R Lee Ermey, are totally wasted in this explosion fest, masquerading as a sci-fi film. It's almost like the marketing department said we have some car chase scenes and explosions, can you wrap a paper thin script around it? After a promising opening with the Corsairs encountering a U.F.O over the Bermuda Triangle, everything falls apart, and for the next hour and twenty tortuous minutes nothing happens except car chases, explosions, and shootings, car chases, explosions, and shootings. Then everything is supposedly tied up by the sci-fi ending, but by that time, you might be running to your dentist for a tooth extraction, something that would be less painful than watching "The Sender" - MERK
