This movie is not a crowd-pleaser type of flick. It poses a question in audiences’ heads on what they are willing to do to regain their freedom in a situation like that. Would they want to fight or go along with the flow? This film is not concerned with how the aliens looked or their powers. This movie deals with the aftermath of the invasion. With some part of the globe, rich people were able to continue with their lives, some went down to an extreme poverty. John Goodman is a surprise in this film. His stoic presence is only a mask to keep up his cover. His eyes shows how torn he is on his pretense and what he’s about to do. The task that was put on his shoulder is too great but it is something only he can do despite what it will cost him. Vera Farmiga is stunning as always. Despite little screen time, she was able to convey everything with her character and leave us wanting more from her. How did she get from being a school teacher to being a hooker? How were she able to come up with the plan? It is heartbreaking to watch Priscilla as she looks at Bill knowing how things will end for them. Like she said, there is no such thing as mistake. There’s only fate. Over all, i enjoyed this film. It’s different and unique. The characters are well-played and the storyline is superb that it still haunts me up to this day.
