They said this was a dumb knock off version of men in black. They said every moment of this film is lifeless robotic vomit. The critics burned it to the ground. the lead actor of the film even said he regretted everything about this movie.  AND YET! The film prevails, thrives, and lives! RIPD is a film about two detectives hunting down dead people that just didn't want to stay dead. SIMPLE CONCEPT BRILLIANT EXECUTION!
