Plot: 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...( read more  ) 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

  I remember that it took a long time to come out because it needed work. I think it was almost two years between the first trailer I saw for it and its release. The first trailer's effects looked real bad and said coming soon to theaters. Then months went by and I saw the same one but it said coming soon to video. I worked at a video store at the time and we had it on the coming this month poster. Then the week it was due it was cancelled. Then a few months later I saw a new trailer for it with better effects that said coming soon to theaters.

  Anyone noticed that this film has 1 actor from each of the CSIs?
  
  Gary Sinise (Spencer Olham) - NY
  Gary Dourdan (Captain Burke) - Las Vegas
  Adam Rodriguez (Trooper) - Miami (OK not a big part and you can't really see his face under the helmet, but he does have a line: "Take a good look at him, have you seen him?!")
