KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

sarastro7 Don't listen to the other comments here. This is one science fiction movie that works. It manages to get all the things it's got going against it, work *for* it.Take the male lead, for instance. Stephen Baldwin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer (and indeed, hasn't exactly starred in a lot of quality movies). So in this movie he's got no mind of his own. He's an assembly line clone, used as a host or worker body for the corporate jetset. That's putting a man of Stephen Baldwin's caliber to the best possible use!The movie is about mind transfers. That's the plot, and the writer takes the utmost consequence of what this means. A plot that would be an insufferably silly stunt-of-the-week on an episode of Star Trek, Stargate or Farscape, manages here to be described disturbingly realistically and in a near-present day setting. Every possible twist that could possibly be imagined if this technology existed is commented on in one way or the other. No stone is left unturned. The sexual possibilities alone remain an important on-going sub-plot. This is highly unusual for a run-of-the-mill sci fi/action flick.The SFX are fairly few, and integrated seamlessly and perfectly into the story. The one-molecule-thick cutting wire is really cool.Like I said, it works. All of it. It is engaging, coherent, tasteful (all the four female main characters have topless scenes, and no, they are *not* gratuitous, but enhance the characterization), well-written, and goes out of its way to avoid clichés. For commercial flicks of any kind, this doesn't happen often. It's too bad the guy who wrote it hasn't done anything else.I'm amazed to see that most of the commentators here have such a low opinion of this movie. Don't listen to them. This movie succeeds in everything it sets out to do. For a B movie, it is good. Surprisingly good. It will hold up for several viewings, if you're the type of person who can appreciate it. This is going to be a cult favorite.8 out of 10.

karo-6 The movie is as mixed as it's comments here. First you think it's science fiction, but soon you realize it's a pure thriller; yet it's basic premise is pure SF, and good one at that - simple, yet somehow unused in SF before... makes you wonder how come no one else thought of this before. And also makes you wish somebody else did, because they might have gotten more out of it. Yet, it was watchable...The story has many holes though - one of the most stupid details for me was the thing with the clone's countdown clock: when it turns out that the clock can be tracked via satellite - and therefore also the body carrying it - Baldwin (with the help of his gf) cuts it out of his arm, including about 100g of arm flesh; but then he carries it around in his pocket for the rest of the movie... why the hell did he cut it off if he keeps it with him afterwards??? :)

Durbik Heck, it's even the worst movie I have ever seen, all categories. No good features there. Baldwin runs from here to there, scaring everybody with his face. And that's the end of a thrill for this 'motion picture'.I can live with Baldwin, whatever. But how come there's not a single quote, guy, lady, weapon, explosion, anything that would be simply good? Everything is wrong. The idea of mind exchange - yeah, right. Monomolecular string? Everybody with primary school finished - laugh it out. No possibility for single molecular line to cut anything. Women? Ugly. My God, they are all ugly. Futuristic cars? Funny. Plot development? Naive. Baldwin and his g/f achieve conclusions without knowing key facts.Who would be that rich/bored/naive to spend any cash to see this movie? Not me.

vicrice I'm usually not into Sci-Fi, but I like a good thriller. This movie is both - and at the same time none of the above. I think the story would benefit if it was set in a twisted present instead of the "not so distant future". The movie makers haven't put enough effort into making you believe this is the future. That said, the story has a faint touch of Orwell (author of the unreal and brilliant novel "1984", written in 1948, from which the expression "Big Brother" originate).The main idea of body switching opens up so many fascinating possibilities, and the movie barely scratches the surface. It leaves you thinking "what if..."The story isn't the best written one in the world, in fact it's rather thin at times. The acting is average with a few exceptions. The presentation isn't in any way high tech or extremely impressive. Still I think it was a good movie. It's the story beyond the movie that makes it great for me.Definitely worthwhile, if you like a weird story.
