I absolutely loved this movie. It's just my cup of tea - simple without being stupid, clever without being painful. They really made the most out of very little, presenting a futuristic world that is so believable, so seemingly real. Masterful!
Tim Robbins is an insurance fraud agent investigating a possible crime. In the process, he falls head over heals for and has an affair with a woman played by the marvelous Samantha Morton.
The plot is simplistic, with dialogue that mixes multiple languages in a rapid-fire, natural way. The FX are so minimal and integrated so well, that the movie could be mistaken for NOT being scifi.
In the near future, your genetics determine who you can love and mate with. With cloning an every day part of life, this becomes a real issue.
Brilliantly and lovingly filmed. The soundtrack is gorgeous, utilizing excellent world beats (and a Coldplay track).
The pace will be off-putting for some. Others will find the plot confusing. I loved every minute.
THREE cloned thumbs up!
