Identify a Charlie Sheen movie

Yesterday, during lunch, there was a movie starring Charlie Sheen showing on some far off flat screen TV. He wore fairly short hair, a goatee and black rimmed glasses. It was set in what appeared to be a Latin American country. At one point he was taking a bath and the ceiling above him caved in from water, at which point he chased some man through some alleys. In another scene he was driving a jeep in the country, when he seemed to come upon a woman with short, blonde hair in distress from the local police and he was subdued as he attempted to come to her aid.

Note that the sound was not on, so some of the above may be wrongly inferred. It was definitely not an episode of Spin City or Two and a Half Men.

The movie is “The Arrival” about aliens terra-forming the planet. Not all that bad of a movie, and Charlie actually does a reasonable job. Your basic B sci-fi movie.

Damn, that was quick. Do you sit around waiting for these things? :wink:

I would have never guessed it was a Sci-Fi flick from the few bits I saw.

Thanks.

It’s The Arrival. Pretty fun little movie. Charlie’s a cable installer who is the only one who can save us from the invading aliens.

(Well, OK, he’s a astrophysicist or something at the beginning, but it’s more fun to call him a cable installer.)

And his favorite song is Rio

Didn’t his wife (ex-wife?) Denise Richards play the most unbelievable nuclear physicist ever in one of the more recent James Bond movies? They must by Hollywood’s Smartest Couple!

Yes, she even outdistanced Nicole Kidman’s work in Days Of Thunder as a brain surgeon.

It’s an awesome flick, complete with a plucky, smart-mouthed little kid. The best part is how the bad guys can totally clean out a room in a matter of seconds. Shit, they should’ve gone legit, with that kind of technology they could’ve made a fortune.
