Soon, however, you realize this killer is NOT a typical killer.he's practically indestructible. The film has an incredibly simple plot.when the film begins, a maniac is running amok in LA.killing and stealing as if there's no tomorrow. But it also works as an inventive sci-fi movie.one that pretty much went under the radar back in 1987 when it debuted.

The movie is jam-packed full of explosions, gun fire, deaths and mayhem. I am NOT a major fan of action films, so the fact that I liked "The Hidden" is unusual. Reviewed by MartinHafer 8 / 10 Despite a bazillion explosions and bullets, quite good. But this remains one of the most unique, vivid alien visitor/invader films of the eighties and nineties. Unfortunately, there was a forgettable and quite awful sequel several years later. The best and most memorable must be the one with Boyett acquiring a Ferrari in his own alien style. Who can forget Christian as an exotic dancer suddenly gone gun-crazy? There's a lot of inherent humor in such scenes. The supporting cast are all great too, with many having to play two versions of themselves. Nouri is the strong-willed earth-man cop and MacLachlan takes full advantage of his unusual persona to play an alien visitor (sort of like Jeff Bridges in "Starman"/1984, but Bridges had to try harder). In fact, I'd venture that this film contains both their best roles. The two lead actors, MacLachlin & Nouri, had just reached their respective peaks in their careers and both were at the top of their game (both careers went into downswing afterward but it can't be blamed on this film). This pic represents a fortunate confluence of personnel and events. You're always guaranteed an adrenaline rush with scenes of cops firing their weapons repeatedly at someone who just won't fall down they may slow him or it down, perhaps stagger it, but in the end they need something more than just bullets.

Some of the premise is similar, featuring an unstoppable menace. For sheer level of entertainment as a sci-fi thriller, this approaches Terminator (84) - the one to beat. We can credit director Sholder for keeping things exciting but I also suspect this was one those scripts that wasn't tampered with much (which is as it should be for most scripts, but isn't in Hollywood). The picture zips along, whether with speedy car chases or interesting suspense, keeping the audience on their toes. This starts out with a bang, literally, and doesn't let up for the entire film.
