In the end, alas, the obvious interests of an actor of Sinise's range and depth are subsumed to the blunt demands of a standardized chase movie.

Consensus: With its low production value and uninspired direction, Impostor comes off as a mixture of The Fugitive and Blade Runner, only not as good or as involving.

Reviews for Impostor
Top CriticStuffed with more filling than a Christmas turkey..., the movie lumbers along when it should be sprinting.
01/07/02
Though Impostor deviously adopts the guise of a modern motion picture, it too is a bomb.
01/06/02
If not a home run, then at least a solid base hit.
01/06/02
Unless there are zoning ordinances to protect your community from the dullest science fiction, Impostor is opening today at a theater near you.
01/06/02
Top CriticNot a disaster by any means, but neither is it the futuristic parable it so clearly wants to be.
01/06/02
Impostor isn't really a movie, it's only impersonating one.

Despite fine performances and some fun moments, Impostor too frequently relies on contrived plot points to reach its revelatory climax.
01/05/02
Includes too much obvious padding.
01/05/02
Top CriticMay not be the cinematic abortion I expected, but it does resemble a C-section--the outcome turns out just fine, but it still leaves a big, old mess in its wake.
01/04/02
As good as Sinise is, Impostor is a waste of his time and ours.
01/04/02
The bottom line, at least in my opinion, is Impostor makes a better short story than it does a film.
01/04/02
A pleasant surprise.
01/04/02
While the film isn't horrendous or exactly torture to sit through, it's clearly not as good as it might have been.
01/04/02
In the transition from prescient work of fiction to pummelling popcorn flick, Impostor seems to have had its soul hijacked.
01/04/02
Top CriticIt's another clone that looks good but has no soul.
01/04/02
This movie is something of an impostor itself, stretching and padding its material in a blur of dead ends and distracting camera work.
01/04/02
Top CriticLittle more than a flash-edited 96-minute chase flick.
01/04/02
The film goes from being an unusual sci-fi character study to a chase flick that detracts from its ending.
