“Alpha Code” (** out of four) was a not-bad sci/fi thriller about a woman with no past (Denise Richards) who is hiding from a ruthless secret agent (Randy Couture) who is the head of a secret space program and hooks up with another fugitive on the run (Bren Foster) and they all attempt to find his alien who was abducted half-alien daughter. Director Keoni Waxman holds you with film’s eerie mood and striking atmosphere but murky plot developments end up weighing the movie down too much. Still watchable though and overall better than most direct-to-DVD sci/fi junk. Screenwriter and story creator Milan Friedrich based this on her own real-life events!
