Alien Nation. 1988.

In 1988 a spaceship appeared and the occupants made Earth their home, after 3 years the aliens known as "Newcomers" are released after quarantine. Detective Matthew Sykes isn't fond of them, when his partner is killed in a shootout he teams up with a newly promoted detective who is a newcomer to solve a crime that leads them to a alien drug.

Considering this is like a cop buddy movie ,this isn't that bad of a movie from the late 80s that to me IMHO is still quite good and enjoyable, James Caan plays the detective who teams up with new detective Sam Francisco Mandy Patinkin who named his son Richard after the president Richard Nixon, great move. There is decent creative make-up and some comedy aspects added in with some good action and Terrence Stamp as the leader of the Newcomers and new drug lord.
