“Monster Hunters” (*1/2 out of four) was a cheesy monster horror schlockfest about an alien prison ship which crashlands in the California desert and unleashes a series of unrelenting creatures while the army (led by Tom Sizemore) realizes it’s apocalypse now and sends in a secret branch of the government (Connie Jo Sechrist, Anthony Jensen, and others) who specialize in alien weaponry to stop them. Unimaginative pastiche of “Independence Day”, “Tremors”, and (naturally) “Alien” without the sharp wit or shock value or conviction of any of those. Sizemore could play this military role in his sleep by now and does; he needs to be on the “hunt” for a bigger and better comeback role.
