[SPOILERS, so to speak] Russians are ugly, even gay Russians. Being molested by a Catholic priest turns you gay and makes you want to have your weird bald head transplanted onto the body of a woman. Russians do sophisticated surgery in dirty trailers, where dogs run free. They don’t even put on masks in operating rooms. Medical professionals get critical information off Google. Canada looks funny. Nobody minds when Amanda Peet gets killed. Nobody remembers the aliens on/in the earth. You can’t go home again.

I didn’t want to believe. Great review, M. I scanned the trailers for even a hint of Jose Chung, and seeing none, gave up.
yes, great review. i would have watched it but now i don’t need to.
I thought the Russian organ transporter was kinda cute, but I guess that one of those “in the eye of the beholder” things. And c’mon, admit you liked it when the X-Files jingle played over a photo of George W. Bush. Yeah, this was pretty bad. But a large part of the appeal of X-files was the chemistry between Mulder and Scully (memorably described by a British critic as “the thinking man’s crumpet”), and that is still there. I miss them so much.
