Editorial Review:
Based on a short story by sci-fi master Philip K. Dick, Impostor holds considerable appeal for genre enthusiasts, who will instantly recognize trace elements of the Dick-based Total Recall and Blade Runner. Fortunately, derivative plotting doesn't detract from director Gary Fleder's capable handling of briskly paced action involving Spencer Olham (Gary Sinise), a weapons designer suspected of being an alien robot with an assassin's agenda. The year is 2079; Earth is at war with an alien race called the Centauri, and its dome-sealed cities are intensely monitored by the Earth Security Agency. A high-tech chase ensues between Olham and his ESA pursuer (Vincent D'Onofrio), testing the bond of trust between Olham and his physician wife (Madeleine Stowe). This marital subplot gives the film's twist ending additional impact, and Dick's recurring themes of lost identity and drug-altered reality are handled with adequate sophistication, while cool gadgetry and sharp visual effects compensate for the plot holes. --Jeff Shannon
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!

Rating:  - Surprisingly Good Movie
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.
Rating:  - Throw it out of the window!
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.
Rating: - Suspense/mystery in a futuristic setting
I had never heard of this movie until I discovered it by accident on the rental shelf. Less sci-fi and more suspense/mystery, the story follows a government scientist who suddenly finds himself on the run, accused of being an impostor planted by the enemy. Forced to rely on the help of strangers as much as he does on his own wits, the fugitive races against time to prove his innocence. A fully engaging story with an excellent cast and first-rate effects.
Rating: - One more of Philip Dick's best works brought to screen
Sci fi author, Philip K. Dick has made a one of the most significant contributions to sci fi on film. Just for starters, here's a partial list from IMDB:
"Next" (Based on "The Golden Man")
"Paycheck"
"Minority Report"
"Total Recall 2070"
"Blade Runner"
"Total Recall"
In addition, there are two more of Dick's novels being committed to film. "Radio Free Albermuth" debuts next year. "The Owl in Daylight" will be coming out in 2009.
