The Monitors (1969)

Commonwealth United
Directed by Jack Shea
My rating: 2 stars out of 4

Aliens dressed in suits and black hats keep peace in the world by standing on street corners and peacefully arresting people who break the law. Their biggest weapon is "indefinite detention". Members of an underground resistance movement try to stop them by sneaking an "implosion bomb" into their headquarters. It's a dated look at the counterculture movement of the 1960s, complete with cliched psychedelic film techniques and awful songs by Odetta.
