The Hidden is a good title considering that it's a sci-fi horror film hidden inside an action cop movie. If you're catching this without forewarning, there's absolutely no reason to think it's going to have that squishy turn. We join the story in the middle of some guy's Grand Theft Auto rampage, we meet the cop who's after him (Michael Nouri) and later the oddball FBI agent (Kyle MacLachlan) who was after him and still is because the violence is something passed from one person to another. I don't want to say too much about what that something is (keep it hidden, if you like). It makes for entertaining fare, with lots of action and mayhem. So much so I dare say it's a bit too long, even at 96 minutes. You're about ready for the heroes to catch up to the culprit, but then remember they set up that whole political event subplot so of course, there needs to be another leg in the chase. I make it sound pretty predictable, but it does have some surprises in store for its audience. A fun hybrid.
