There seems to be a lot of negativity about this movie and at first I couldn't understand why. This film was shot about 45 minutes from where I live so I have been aware of it for some time. I was interested to see it and on the whole I very much enjoyed it. I think the problem is its title, it's poster and it's trailer, all of which suggest a very much different movie to what UFO actually is. This is a gritty British movie with ambition far beyond its budget and ultimately where it does fail is that it's ambition out weighs its budgets ability to achieve it. I think under a different title, with different advertising and dare I say it, a different actor to JCVD this film would have had a very different response. I would advise watching it with an open mind and without expecting a Hollywood blockbuster. However hard it's she'll attempts to convince you otherwise, Hollywood this ain't!
