Synopsis: K-Pax (2001)
Synopis: K-PAX tells the story of Prot (Kevin Spacey), a mysterious patient at a mental hospital who claims to be from a distant planet called K-PAX. While his psychiatrist, Dr. Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges),is baffled by this cheerfully confident man, Prot’s descriptions of life on a planet 1000 light years away awaken a sense of possibility among the other patients. When Prot says he’s going back before the summer ends, all the patients on the ward vie to go with him. As the days before Prot’s announced departure from earth race by, Dr. Powell struggles with questions of science versus faith and wonders about his own ability to distinguish reality from delusion.Features: K-Pax (2001)

Sci Fi, Drama Or Both? K-Pax Erases The Lines

Cons: Few Features
KPax has created a whole new movie genre that can't even be desribed. It is a SciFI and a Drama. Audiences are left ot wonder throughout the movie if Spacey's character is really an alien, even at the end. The chemistry between Spacey and Bridges is obvious. Some actors simply do not have chemistry, but these two are a pair that DO have it. The movie is so deeply psychological, along with being a drama, and a SciFi. It may not have won a lot of awards, but sometimes movies that don't are some of the best, and KPax has proven that to be more than true. ...

Pros: Realistic, Thoughtful, Feel-Good
Cons: I cannot see Jeff Bridges as anyone other than "The Dude"
Kevin Spacey is excellent as Prot, who appears in Grand Central station and is wisked off to a psychiatry ward. Jeff Bridges works with Prot to discover who he is, where he is from, and what he is doing. It is a fascinating ride as questions are raised, minds are changed, and time runs short. Beautiful lighting and very convincing story make this a great film about a tricky movie subject. That is aliens, not psychiatry. Jeeze. ...
