Not having read the original novel written by Robert A, Heinlein this film is based on one can't compare the two but as a film this is good in the first half but gets more unimpressive as it shambles along to the rather ludicrous climax. It is a shame as the scary alien special effects are suitably icky and in a main role Donald Sutherland is excellent. The rest of the cast pale in comparison even though there are fine thespians like Yaphet Kotto. Andrew Robinson and Richard Belzer but they are wasted in side roles. The two other main leads, Eric Thal and Julie Warner are bland. There is a lot going on in the film but it doesn't hang together. Perhaps it needed a longer form like a TV series
At the start the lady scientist from NASA gets suspicious of the possessed men because they didn't look down her cleavage. I thought that was silly as later in a film an alien wants to do all kinds of naughty things with her. It didn't make sense, like other things in this rambling film.
