This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I have not read the book that this is about, but it seems to follow a similar plot to other Koontz books.Overall I considered this a dandy movie which was much better than most other Koontz adaptations. The acting was surprisingly good with no one detracting from the film and a few quite excellent performances as well as the sexy Julie Warner who did an excellent job.My only real complaint is that the big explanation/twist/secret is given away at the beginning of the movie. This was also a big disappointment in Hideaways and it seems that Koontz screenplays have to be this way. Besides giving everything (the whole mystery) away at the start, this was a fun action/suspense movie that I quite enjoyed. It won't knock your socks off, but is certainly worth the time to view it.

Wow, this movie crosses the line between Bad and HORRIBLE. I'm afraid to go rent movies that I am not familiar with now just because of this Piece of crap! The storyline is confusing as hell. It has nothing to do with the occult or demons, but the over done "Man made to be a killing machine". I'm not sure what happened in the first hour of the movie, but too much happens; yet NOTHING happens to any of the characters. The ending dragged on and ON AND ON AND ON! It would be a better ending if a meteor crashed into their town and all the characters died. I mean seriously, it'd be more believable. The acting is terrible. The directing is terrible. The backstory is awful. I was so shocked at how gosh-awful the movie was that I just sort of sat there and watched the credits scroll by on the screen.

The actors chosen to play the characters were adequate at best. The premise of the story was changed, making much less sense. The only thing that remained the same was the fact that there was an author and a clone of him. After that the story deteriorates.I don't know why a Dean Koontz book cannot be made into a movie without making ridiculous changes to the story line. The changes that were made took away the motivation from the characters, so there is no understanding why they do what they do. Drew Oslett actually has a significant reason in the book for pursuing the clone, but that is completely lost in the movie. Clocker's role was pretty insignificant in the movie, but was essential in the book. This movie was not worth the two nights of viewing. If you want a good story, read the book.

Good Film. Decent Acting. Fine Plot (kinda like Soldier). Too Long !!!The film starts well. It had me thinking that this kind of GM/Clone type stuff is possible and may well have been tried by governments as we speak. After a great opening 45 minutes the film descends into farce. Chase, evade, catch fight, chase, escape, fight, catch, chase, etc... At on point it feels like a superman flick. One leaves as the other enters, etc. Laughable. I did however enjoy the pathetic special effects when Baldwin was fighting with himself. Shocking!
