ALIEN THUNDER * (Theatrical Release USA 1974)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì

Alien Thunder shows Donald Sutherland in an earlier artistic effort. Be aware of low quality film used to produce the movie despite the fact that it was created in the 1970s. The acting and the portrayal are average; the story is simple.

Storyline

A Northwest Mounted Police Sergeant (Donald Sutherland) tracks a native involved in the death of his partner.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. It quickly becomes a film one watches for fill-in time. The Shootist is a better watch than this movie.
