The X-Files: I Want to Believe

(USA, 2008, 102 minutes)

Former FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, now leading civilian lives, are asked back to help find a missing agent whose whereabouts seem to be known by a disgraced priest that claims to have psychic visions. This belated second big-screen outing for the cult TV series of the 1990s is essentially a longer, cleverly-scripted stand-alone episode that makes good use of the lengthy break since the series' finale and retains its traditional thoughtful spookiness, but never truly comes together as a movie.

Starring David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly, Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner, Mitch Pileggi, Callum Keith Rennie.
