Whats good and bad about this film are quite the same.What??.It's a John Carpenter film,get it??Thus 1 star off.Released in 1988 and running 93 minutes,its a different sort of film for the master film maker.Sci-fi but with a very today message.Money corrupts and blinds.I'm sure in some small way,"The Matrix trilogy"has some small insperation from this film and todays 99% who strive to be 1%'ers also need to see this. Me?I just love it when some one beats you to within a inch of your life to save it,by forcing you to wear sun glasses.You have to see the film to understand THAT.Roddy Piper,a pro wrestler,was a inspired choice in a John Carpenter sort of way to be the lead in a so/so cast,but as in all of John Carpenter's films its the message that counts,not the messenger.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
Nada, a down-on-his-luck construction worker, discovers a pair of special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to see the world as it really is: people being bombarded by media and government with messages like "Stay Asleep", "No Imagination", "Submit to Authority". Even scarier is that he is able to see that some usually normal-looking people are in fact ugly aliens in charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued.
