Weapons designer Gary Sinise finds himself on the run in a warring future state after being accused of being an alien spy. Yet another potboiler based on a Philip K. Dick short story, Impostor doesn't really have the depth or invention to satisfyingly explore the source material'...( read more)
Well all in all it is an average thriller but with the addition of asking a very interesting philosophical question. That's why I like this movie and why it did stick with me for a while after watching.
This film was pretty awful. Such a shame, because the core story has alot of potential. Unfortunately, the director picked the worst angles and constantly threw in random slow motion bits and flashbacks. I hope they eventually remake this film with a good director. Better pro...( read more)
Fell asleep and had to rewind it to watch what I missed and tried hardly not to fall asleep again. Dumb story, terrible acting and bad effects. Sci-fi garbage in a few words.
28/100
A low-budget Dimension Films movie, but one with all the atmosphere, plot and acting that one needs in a good sci-fi.

Impostor is really little more than an extended Outer Limits episode. full review
A thoroughly acceptable sci-fi genre pic. full review
The editing is pointlessly hyperkinetic, never settling for a single camera angle when five, cut together in rapid succession, are available, and cramming nearly every scene with jump-cuts, flashbacks... full review
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?!")
