Carpenter should stick to what he's good at-scaring folks-and leave the political satire to Spitting Image.

John Carpenter's They Live has cult favorite written all over it, and part of the reason is the way it regenerates the cheap, juicy, surprisingly potent sci-fi of the 1950s.

Behold the message as articulated by John Carpenter's sublime sci-fi opus: "I'm giving you a choice: Either put on these glasses, or start eating that trashcan."

All in all, an entertaining (if ideologically incoherent) response to the valorization of greed in our midst.

Cheesy fun from the 1980s.

Carpenter's primary objective was to make a tough action flick, which he does; it fits snugly into his filmography's subset of urban mayhem movies (alongside 'Escape from New York,' 'Assault on Precinct 13,' and parts of 'Big Trouble in Little China').

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

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.

Campy, satirical classic has lots of violence, profanity.

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

With Carpenter's clear, widescreen direction and his skill and enthusiasm at their highest peak, this is a masterpiece.

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