Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I wonder if Sean Ellis knew exactly what he wanted, the movie is very confusing and ends like that, unexplained what I just saw, who are the duplicates of the characters, are there really duplicates or everything is in the imagination of some of the characters, everything is unclear and chaotic.

. . . of a nation's populace being replaced by Demonic Doubles--capable of committing Ultimate Evil--one at a time. Everyone knows that this sort of thing happens occasionally in Real Life, such as in Hitler's Germany or Trump's USA. Years of bullying at West Point and other South-Centric Military Institutions gave Poe a strong sense of the impending Confederacy of Doomed Dimwits about to encompass his home state Virginia and its surrounding Red States. As Director Ellis documents during THE BROKEN, modern medicine can now detect such instances of Mass Delusion and Demonic Possession through X-Rays and Brain Scans. Ellis offers no hope for the weak-minded masses subject to "Capgras Syndrome," victims of which can mistake Red Commie KGB-promoted serial finger rapist TV Game Show Hosts for American Commanders-in-Chief. Whether it's Jeff Davis, Adolph Hitler, or Don Jun Rump spear-heading a Demonic Infestation, the implicit message of Poe and Ellis is to purify the populace with Bonfires of such Inanities. Though these miscreants may LOOK like Aunt Ethel, Uncle Fred, other family, friends, or colleagues, their current status as Rump enablers demand immediate termination with extreme prejudice.

Initially I thought this was going to be a psychological thriller involving doubles / doppelgangers, but it is more like a variation on the familiar "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" theme. In any case, Sean Ellis' direction is better than his script; the aerial shots of London, the super-slow-motion replays of a car crash, and the scenes where people appear "behind" mirrors are stunning. But the story takes too long to get anywhere, and when it does the "revelations" are fuzzy, if not a cheat. I like Lena Headey a lot as Sarah Connor in the Terminator TV series, but here she gives a mostly monotonous performance, and the other actors are in it too briefly to make much out of their roles. ** out of 4.

Well, my streak of good movies has shattered into pieces, and yet the theme is the one that pinches my fear button (see my review for "Aliens are coming"). Thus, it's about our dear ones being changed by twin evil ones. Here, they come from outside the mirrors (as in Carpenter's "prince of darkness"). It's a solid idea that can be very scary but it needs also some stuff to grow the seed.Unfortunately, there's not such development here. The movie is already ultra short (90 minutes) and inside, it's pretty much empty: the scenes are deadly slow, there aren't much dialogs and at the end, it's dull and boring. Worse, the colors are pale, bleak so it's really depressing!The only things to give pulse, it's the London location (with the tube), the twist about the car crash and Lena Headey as she has indeed a strong talent and presence to carry the movie over her only shoulders.
