- Something terrifying has come to Earth, something that attacks us while we sleep and turns us into soulless replicants.

If it ain't broken leave it alone. - The Invasion review by CP Customer
A tame remake of the body snatcher 'genre.' The cast do well with the available script but the "everybody lives happily after," ending is too sugary. The film hints at the worldwide benefits of benevolent control, with an absence of free will, this theme had more legs and could have been further explored. A world without war, terrorism, starvation etc, in exchange for emotions/choice could have been a real challenge for the director, shame.

A solid Sci-FI thriller. - The Invasion review by CP Customer
The Invasion' is a fairly solid Sci-Fi thriller, the acting is decent, the direction is solid and the story moves along at a brisk pace. While it's not one of the best of films of all time it's certainly not that bad, where the film does fail is that it does suffer from a lack of tension, moments and scenes that should have you on the edge of your seat come of as a bit flat. That said, if you're running short of titles to add to your rental list then this is well worth a look.
