It's a pleasure to watch a thinking-man's actor like Sinise adapt so easily to this challenge; he even keeps his dignity when forced to participate in the inevitable martial arts-inflected showdown.

Has a certain ghoulish fascination, and generates a fair amount of B-movie excitement.

Plays around with some interesting notions, such as the nature of reality, the nature of humanity, and the nature of spiffy apartments with sleek bathroom fixtures.

It's considerably flawed. It has a middle that's padded, a look that could use a few more light bulbs, a protagonist who never earns our sympathy, and an audio mix that leans much too heavily on the bass, often making it impossible to understand what's being said.

As a video rental, this film will probably play a lot better than it does at the local multiplex.

This psychological sci-fi thriller was originally made as a 40-minute segment of an unrealized portmanteau picture, then expanded into a freestanding feature. That's probably why it's padded with shots of Olham running down corridors.

It's a Hitchockian "wrong man" story, but there's a twist.

Unfortunately, Impostor doesn't do much with its template, despite a remarkably strong cast.

Likely to be best appreciated by dedicated sci-fi fans, admirers of Dick in particular. It hasn't the stupendous razzle-dazzle of a mega-budget picture like "A.I. Artificial Intelligence."

It's a yawn for the most part, depending on dull characters and uninvolving twists.

Director Gary Fleder ("Don't Say a Word") pushes the same old cliches in "Blade Runner" packaging.

Imposter is a penny-pinched "Blade Runner," a stubbornly unexciting ride into the near future.

Written by a team of three, the script is more plagued by groupthink than is the film's future Earth.

As in most cheap futuristic movies, everything is dark or illuminated by a drab bluish glow. The buildings look grubbily similar to each other, so every location has to be identified onscreen. Of course, that saves the audience the trouble of paying attention.
