INVASION

INVASION NEEDS A GOOD DOSE OF PENICILLIN "My husband is not my husband." My movie is not my movie. See Nicole. See Nicole run. Run Nicole, run. I've seen this movie before: Invasion of the Body Snatchers, War of the Worlds, Children of Men, Stepford Wives, Planet Terror. INVASION is the answer to recent additions to the english language such as Pandemic, SARS and Avian Flu. It goes along in a quite and predictible plot-line. Nicole Kidman is Carol Bennell, a therapist who is having a really bad day. Her ex-husband wants to have their son spend the night and then goes and turns into a "zombie", then her friend does, her patients do and her special "best friend" as well. Most of the movie is spent in rapid running/speeding cars. Everyone's gone and turned zombie, there's no hope in sight until they all lived happily ever after. There is absolutely no connection between Kidman and her "love interest", Ben (Daniel Craig), and both he and her ex-husband, Jeremy Northam, were VERY convincing as zombies. The crucial part for Kidman in this film is not to fall asleep (and turn into a zombie). Too bad the movie didn't want the same from its viewers.
NOT a Pick: Mildly entertaining but nothing to lose sleep over.
