The Puppet Masters (1994)

The Puppet Masters is The Langoliers meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Its made-for-TV look-and-feel squares it in the mediocre camp yet it's worth a watch. I'm not a print-retentive sci-fi fan sniping how the movie wasn't 100% faithful to Robert Heinlein's novel. You watch a movie as a movie. Even lukewarm, Donald Sutherland is good as the senior government official who refers to himself as "the old man." The others' acting was tepid with a paucity of facial expressions. Still, I've caught this movie on cable a couple of times and enjoyed it just fine. (It's better than The Core!) 3 stars.
