Summary - Very Good 3.5

A fun sci-fi action/thriller that finds a great way to blend the best of both genres. Find out what happens when capitalists get ahold of the means to clone humans, and the subjects start to figure out what is going on. You should find yourself gripped from start to finish during this very entertaining movie.

Acting - Good 3.0

Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson were the main stars, and a very fine pair indeed — lots of natural chemistry. Ewan does a fine job as the inquisitive champion, and Scarlett is a natural for this type of film. However, my pick was the empathetic Steve Buscemi — who was the only real actor with character – too bad he wasn’t on very long.

Film - Very Good 3.5

Great progressive storytelling, slowly letting you in on the true operation behind the seemingly utopian existance, climaxing in a crescendo of action, suspense, and resolution. A smattering of LOL moments throughout were gems — would have liked to see more of that.
