"LETHAL TARGET is supposed to be a scifi monster movie. We see very little of the monster, and when we do, it's some of the cheesiest special effects you've seen. I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of movies having to have so much sex without a real purpose, and also the lesbian activity is just too forced and unbelievable. There is so much filler in this movie that involves the head sexy villain licking and petting her concubine, and it slows down what little action there is to the point of being nothing more than a gimmick to get sex-starved viewers to think they're watching a good movie. Sorry for the soapbox.

Anyway, this movie offers us CC Costigan as an imprisoned Space Marshal who is offered a commute of her sentence if she single-handedly goes on board some kind of space station and finds out what's happened to the crew. The space station, which looks like something a kid composed of tinker toys, is commanded by voluptous Kim Dawson, whose acting abilities are nowhere to be found. She has a combination nerdy/hunky assistant, played with no enthusiasm by Josh Barker, who is ordered to seduce the marshal to find out what she knows. Seems like Dawson went on some kind of time travel mission, came back, bringing with her an alien creature. Dawson also has the alien virus, and can contaminate by scratching her victims. We have the token creature exploding out of the chest scene, and Costigan chases the monsters around a little bit, etc. etc.

LETHAL TARGET offers nothing new in a tired genre, so its reason for existence is beyond my scope of understanding. Avoid."
