Impostor

Idée géniale qui méritait un scénario moins troué et une réalisation plus digne. Impostor a l'air d'avoir été bâclé en trois semaines dans des studios de série B. En tant que film de science-fiction à gros budget d'Europe de l'Est, il aurait été une agréable surprise. Mais en tant que blockbuster hollywoodien d'après Philip K. Dick, c'est un échec. Il n'obtient trois étoiles que grâce à une mise en scène dynamique qui nous empêche de nous ennuyer une seule seconde. (17/02/2003)

The only good thing about this film is its depressing ending. Otherwise, it’s cheap slog with terrible visual effects and shot without a shred of inventiveness. A lot more could have been squeezed out of a source material as interesting as Dick’s. Gary Sinise hasn't made anything good in years, and Impostor, which he even produced, is further proof of his decline. The only positive is that Madeleine Stowe is still beautiful. For her and for the satisfactory ending, I’m giving two stars. (22/06/2003)

Here I would blame the writer and director. With a very well put together cast, it would definitely be possible to raise Impostor higher than just being average and uncertain. Unfortunately, the twist of the story is so obvious that a potential second viewing is almost out of the question and it becomes pointless, even though the fundamental idea was more than solid.
