Overview

Brick Bardo is a traveller from outer space who is forced to land on Earth. Though regular sized on his home planet, he is doll-sized here on Earth, as are the enemy forces who have landed as well. While Brick enlists the help of an impoverished girl and her son, the bad guys enlist the help of a local gang. When word leaks out as to his location, and all hell breaks loose, Brick is besieged by an onslaught of curious kids, angry gang members, and his own doll-sized enemies, and he must protect the family who has helped him and get off the planet alive.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A delightfully low-budget sci-fi action romp that doesn't take itself seriously, turning the fish-out-of-water premise of a tiny alien cop into an excuse for scrappy B-movie mayhem and practical ingenuity.

Better than the premise would have you believe.
Some great acting from Haley and Lopez, and even though Thomerson isn’t ‘Jack Deth’, (though he kinda is) he does a fine job of keeping his tongue firmly planted in cheek but not phoning it in.
