An exciting, action-packed sci-fi story from the author of TOTAL RECALL and BLADE RUNNER, the thrilling Director's Cut of IMPOSTOR brings you Gary Sinise (FORREST GUMP, APOLLO 13), Madeleine Stowe (WE WERE SOLDIERS, PLAYING BY HEART), Vincent D'Onofrio (THE CELL, MEN IN BLACK), and Mekhi Phifer (O, 8 MILE) in a stellar cast. At a time when the earth has been at war with an alien force for over a decade, the latest work of lauded government scientist Spencer Olham (Sinise) promises to save the planet. But suddenly, Olham himself is accused of being an alien spy and is thrown headlong into a disorienting nightmare as a fugitive from the law. With blasts of adrenaline-fueled intensity, this futuristic thriller soars as Olham races to prove his identity to the world ... and himself ... in time to save all mankind!

Summary: One of those saturday back channel TV movies that deserve better
Comment: Out of the 3, (at this time) movies made from the sweat of Philip K. Dick,
I find that this one the best, because it relies, on a larger part, more
acting than special effects. Not that Philip K. Dick's certainly dark
view of the future is not followed, such as in "Blade Runner", & "Total
Recall", just in case the fans of the written works of Mr.Dick were
wondering, (and you know who you are my darlings). That dark, desperate,
derailed & sometimes deranged future is still there, where things are
quite what they were or are represented. I find Gary Sinise's acting
quite excellent, as the main character Dr. Spencer Olham,
Vincent D'Onofrio as the extremely dedicated head of planitary security,
makes a good heavy. This movie will keep you guessing to the explosive
ending. Worth owning if you are a P.K.Dick fan, or just like good
sci-fi.

Summary: Has some interesting twists, but well, whatever...
Comment: Perhaps I am getting jaded, but I rarely find sci-fi films that I like much. There is nothing wrong or ridiculous about this film: it is an identity question, where Sinise is apparently mistaken for a robotic baddie sent from mysterious aliens at war with Earth. He gets into quite an adventure, running around to exonerate himself and in the process revealing a pretty complex (and unfortunate) society. As is typical with PKD, you are not sure who the good and bad guys are, so the viewer is kept guessing. Alas, when I got to the end, I wasn't that surprised, indeed I kind of wanted it to end because I didn't feel I had entered this particular future with much enthusiasm. It is a pretty run of the mill suspense/thriller hard sci fi.

Summary: Geek versus doppleganger
Comment: An important government scientist is targeted by aliens
for being doubled by a genetic duplicated robot with a fusion
bomb in his chest.
It turns out that more than one duplicate could be running around?
Bobby Milktoast ( scientist) runs the fed security in circles with the help
of the ghetto black man.
It is another of Philip K. Dick's mind twister sci fi's
made into a movie.
I liked it...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Surprisingly Good Movie
Comment: Although I am not much into Sci-Fi movies, this one was suprisingly interesting with an unexpecting ending. D'onofirio is just an amazing actor. He should've had the lead, but then again, it doesnt matter what role he plays, he alwyas manages to steal every scene he is in. Worth Watching even if you are not a Sci-Fi fan.

Summary: Throw it out of the window!
Comment: I rent that movie with the best intention as i am fan of scifi movies.Unfortunately the sense that i got was that I was watching tvseries than a movie.the acting was rubbish,the plot was cheap and the special effects were a dissapointment.
stay away!go for the Arrival and for Capricorn One.
