Review:
This is a rather ponderous film that people seem to either like or hate, I found it interesting yet unsatisfying. We meet Prot (really well played by Kevin Spacey) who resides at a mental hospital. He claims to be an alien from another planet (no it's not a comedy), and we sort of watch as a shrink tries to understand the truth about Prot. Most of the movie I spent trying to figure out exactly what's going on, but you'll never really get to know unfortunately. Still it's an interesting character study that may just make you think a touch.
