Customer Reviews

"I think therefore I am" - René Descartes.

Spencer Olham (Gary Sinise), a renowned scientist, is responsible for creating a weapon that may save the Earth from evil aliens. His wife is a popular M. D. This morning Spencer goes to work and notices that he is getting the eye from suspicious people, and for the first-time security challenges him. Turns out, based on a report, he is suspected of being a bomb toting replican for the other side. Shades of Blade Runner. Now for the rest of the film, Spenser tries to prove that he is who he is. Meantime the authority Hathaway (Vincent D'Onofrio) is not listening and just wants a good shot. We go along for the ride. It is actually a fun ride as we get to guess "is he, or isn't he?" There is a tad too much CGI balanced by chases and shoot-outs. Based on a short story, "The Impostor" by Philip K. Dick, adapted by Scott Rosenberg, screenplay by Caroline Case, Ehren Kruger, and David Twohy.
