Consensus: With its low production value and uninspired direction, Impostor comes off as a mixture of The Fugitive and Blade Runner, only not as good or as involving.

Once the movie abandons ideas, it falls flat -- it's not well made enough to engage us with shallowness. Full Review |

This potentially stylish cyberpunk movie is turned into nothing more than an endless series of tiresome chase sequences. Full Review |

Originally slated as a 40 minute installment in a sci-fi trilogy film, Impostor should have been left that way. Full Review |

There's one thing you can say about Imposter - it does have the appropriate title. Fleder's ill-conceived actioner flick poses as a thriving sci-fi adventure but its real identity is that of a glossy-looking, predictable lukewarm futuristic yarn. Full Review |

If Sinise's character had a brain his ordeal would be over in five minutes but instead the plot goes out of its way to introduce obstacles for him to stumble over. Full Review |

A worthy successor to those sci-fi B-movies of old even if it is nowhere in the league of such Dick-inspired films as Total Recall and Blade Runner. Full Review |

3/5 |
Worth the ticket price -- mainly for the surprise ending and set design -- and most of its 96 minutes is absorbing. Full Review |

60/100 |
An uneven look into a grim future that doesn’t come close to the level of intelligence and visual splendour that can be seen in other films based on Philip K. Dick stories. Full Review |
