(rated PG-13, 96 mins.)
The opening is confusing, but one thing is clear, it’s the year 2079. Spence Olham (Gary Sinise) is a scientist in love with Doctor Maya (Madline Stowe). Olham has been told that although he’s an upstanding citizen and genius, he’s also a cloned alien-type with a bomb in his heart. Major Hathaway (Vincent D’Onofrio) who spends much of his time running around in some Euro-trash navy suit and shouting orders, is determined to put an end to Olham. D’Onofrio is luke warm in his role, Stowe is underused and Sinise gives a performance that is Oscar caliber in this straight to video movie. Based on Philip K. Dick’s book, it’s flavor is similar to his past “Total Recall” and “Blade Runner” however this particular high-concept, futuristic action of can-you-catch-me, eventually gets caught up — in nothing.
