 "The Invasion is one of those feature films that theoretically has well-notched arrows in its quiver: the disappointment lies in the fact that these arrows do not reach their target."

 “All elements contribute to casting shadows on a film that thematically appears interesting but is largely ‘killed’ by the inevitable action choice in films of this genre.”

The Invasion, directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, tells a sci-fi story based on Jack Finney’s novel about an alien virus causing emotional detachment. Despite strong leads Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig and interesting themes, the film suffers from predictable plotlines, stereotyped characters, and uninspired action sequences, resulting in disappointment. It stands as a missed opportunity to deliver a compelling science fiction thriller. Discover why The Invasion struggled to deliver and decide if this sci-fi thriller deserves your watch.

 The more AOR sound and the more commercial attitude do not necessarily mean that the music is mediocre, it simply means that the style adopted deviates from that of the previous albums.

 Purser is not Sykes, the group tries to do what it can, but evidently, the musicians themselves realize that the path taken leads to a dead end.

 Tricky, nocturnal poet, with smoke in your mouth and a penetrating gaze, you are just a fool.

 'Mixed Race' is, just to rub salt in the wound, useless and pedantic, a chic and luxurious sedative for those who live on vacuity.

The review laments Tricky's fall from the heights of his early trip-hop masterpieces like 'Maxinquaye' to the disappointing 'Mixed Race'. The album is described as pedantic, unstable, and mostly forgettable, with only a few tracks offering any real merit.
