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
It tries to impersonate a much better movie, but even a twist at the end cannot make it compelling.
01/03/02
Impostor is likely to be best appreciated by dedicated sci-fi fans, admirers of Dick in particular.
01/03/02
Top CriticThere isn't enough action to keep the viewer riveted for the entire hour and a half.
01/03/02
Automatically pegs itself for the straight-to-video sci-fi rental shelf.
01/03/02
Top CriticIt's of the quality of a lesser Harrison Ford movie - Six Days, Seven Nights, maybe, or that dreadful Sabrina remake.
01/03/02
Has a certain ghoulish fascination, and generates a fair amount of B-movie excitement.
01/03/02
A thoroughly acceptable sci-fi genre pic.
01/03/02
An unpleasant physical experience.
01/03/02
There's more dramatic meat in an episode of The Outer Limits.
01/03/02
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 and jarring perspectives.
01/03/02
Top CriticA relentlessly dull chase flick with an inexplicably high-toned cast.
01/03/02
An amalgam of The Fugitive, Blade Runner, and Total Recall, only without much energy or tension.
01/03/02
Top CriticSinise wears a permanent grimace of anxiety, as if wondering how he let himself be trapped in a science fiction film even sillier than Mission to Mars.
01/03/02
Impostor starts as a tribute to Philip K. Dick and winds up selling its soul to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
01/03/02
A so-so, made-for-TV something posing as a real movie.
01/03/02
Top CriticThere are so many black holes in Impostor that trying to keep track of them would tax Hawking.
01/03/02
A thinking man’s sci-fi flick staying true to Dick’s original story and spirit.
01/03/02
Feels like one of those sci-fi TV shows that you watch for an hour and then forget all about.
