Review of Impostor

Impostor (2001)
6/10
Excellent science fiction and suspense movie with great cast and noisy action
6 October 2004
The film concerns a weapon engineer (Gary Sinese) and his wife (Madeleine Stowe) in the future world , as it takes place in 2079 . Then he's framed to be a traitor and serve to Centauri aliens by means of an explosive in his body . He flees and being helped by a young (Meki Phifer) of the slums . They'll take on a clever security agent (Vincent D'Onofrio) until an unexpected and surprising conclusion .

From start to finish the twisted intrigue , thrills and action-packed are unstoppable . Runtime is adequate , it's fast-moving and is neither tiring , nor dull , but bemusing . In the motion picture there are pursuits , emotion , thriller, shootouts and being interesting enough. The final confrontation between the starring and the contenders is very thrilling and really stimulating.

The storyline from original novel by Philip K. Dick , author of great novels and being well adapted the following ones : ¨Blade Runner¨ , ¨Screamers¨ and ¨Total recall¨, among others . The film plot is pretty twisted and the ending has an extraordinary surprise . The picture takes parts here and there of other films , as in the opening scene of the film , footage of some soldiers is taken from the 1997 film Starship Troopers¨ Paul Verhoven , including some security forces who wear similar helmets ; and footage of a volcano and craters , with other explosions is taken from the film ¨Armageddon¨ . State-of-art Special effects , FX , are extraordinaries , they are made by the powerful enterprise ¨Industrial Light Magic¨ , courtesy of George Lucas Corporation . Interpretation by Gary Sinese is riveting , Madeleine Stowe is enjoyable and enticing . Vincent D'Onofrio is outstanding as his acting in ¨Full metal jacket¨.

The flick will appeal science fiction buffs and action fans. The movie didn't obtain success and failed at the box office in spite of the big budget. Rating: 6,5/10 . Well catching.
