This X Files film was a gritty, scary story that is starkly different from many of the choices available today. If you haven't seen The Dark Knight, then go see it. But if you have seen it, you'll want to give The X Files a try. Certainly it is a much better film than Mama Mia or The Will Farrel Show. It is very interesting to see Mulder and Scully solving crimes in this new part of their life, i.e. outside of the FBI. Also, this movie is a thiller. Think Saw but with less gore (and you won't figure out the mystery in the first five minutes like with Saw). If you are a fan of the show, you'll love this movie. If you didn't see the show, you still get a kick out of this movie if you like gritty, scary crime movies.
