“Got protection?”
In "The Watch" (2012), four disaffected suburbanites form an ad hoc neighborhood watch to spice up their dull routines, only to find themselves battling extraterrestrial infiltrators masquerading as mundane neighbors. This sci-fi comedy skewers suburban ennui and small-town xenophobia with a cast of characters who must confront their mundane lives' inadequacies to save their world from otherworldly destruction.
