A fantastically subversive film, a nifty little confection pitting us vs them, the haves vs the have-nots.

The joke is in the material; the idea itself is funny and daring. And some time soon, They Live suggests, with grim, knowing wink, the joke may be on us.

They Live is the looniest movie of the season and also one of the most engaging.

As a movie, They Live is lethargic. As election propaganda, it's terrific.
