Director Marshall Brickman constructs a sharp satire on scientific ethics and institutional absurdity, working with elements of sci-fi farce and psychological comedy. The film relies on Alan Arkin's brilliantly understated performance, which balances paranoia with wit as his reality unravels.

What lingers after the credits is a clever, subversive take on conformity and manipulation, where the biggest alien might be the human condition itself. — MovieFinder Editorial
