Plot Summary:
James Edwards, an NYC cop, joins a secret organization known as
Men in Black, which regulates the activity of aliens living
disguised among humans. Alongside his new partner, the veteran
Agent K, James (now Agent J) must investigate a series of
strange incidents and stop a destructive plot by an
intergalactic villain. They embark on a mission to recover a
powerful energy source before the antagonist can use it to
destroy the Earth. Dad's Preview:
I'm a sci-fi guy. I crave well-done science
fiction on screen. Here we meet two agents, Jay and Kay (their real
identities have been permanently removed), who work for a secret
agency that tracks aliens who live on Earth, undetected. Most
are benevolent, but not all. This film is packed with slimy aliens
of all shapes/sizes, lots of action, a count-down to
Earth's destruction, and the sexy Linda Fiorentino.
Additionally, Vincent D'Onofrio's
performance is amazing as Edgar/The Bug. This sci-fi goldmine is creative with lots
of laughs and creatures from outer space.
