Imposter

Starring Gary Sinise, Madeleine Stowe, Mekhi Phifer, Vincent D ‘nofrio, Tony Shaloub

Director: Gary Fleder

Wow. This film was so bad I can barely review it. I saw it two days ago, and even now I’m not sure I am prepared to talk about it, though my therapist thinks I should. I am very disappointed in Sinise, who not only stars in but produced the film along with Fleder, the director. Let that serve as a warning in the future, folks. If the only people willing to produce the project are the director and the star, it’s because it’s their little pet project that no one else thinks is any good, and refuses to stick their neck out for at the studio. Here, Sinise plays a weapons designer in a future world where Earth is at war with someone (We never see them), so he has devoloped an ultimate weapon (which never does anything) but is accused of being an infiltration robot sent to kill The Chancellor (a character whom we never really meet). So, he runs. And then he runs. And, for a while, he runs. He gets some help from a mysterious underground, makes a new friend, and they run together for a while. Then he reunites with his wife, and they run together for a while. Then, the ending we all saw coming from about the fifth scene of the movie finally happens, and we can all leave the theatre laughing at this piece of detritus and picking that annoying piece of popcorn out of our teeth. Rating – 1 cell phone. I literally left the theatre to use the restroom, walked into a different theatre at the Megegoogleplex, and watched previews for other movies during this one. That new Ice Age cartoon looks funny.
