Good storyline.
Interesting premise. Intense, and believable acting (for main actors).
Ending was somewhat predictable - lead viewer to expect a twist somewhere at the end.
Interesting adventure.
Worth a watch on a Friday night!

this is a terrific,well acted movie.it has plenty of action,a very good
storyline and is also realistic.it asks many questions and leaves the
viewer to answer most of them.i was drawn into this movie right from
the beginning until the very end.there are some great,and unexpected
(for me,anyway)plot twists.the ending i thought was brilliant.i also
liked the fact that you never really know who the enemy is,until the
very end.even then,i wasn't sure.if you are looking to be
entertained,you should give this movie a try.if you like compelling and
thought provoking action and drama,you should also give this movie a
try.this movie has some intelligence behind it,which many movies today
are sorely lacking.this is one of the best movies of the Sci-Fi genre i
have seen to date. i wouldn't call it a masterpiece,but it is a very
solid,well done film.My vote for Imposter is 4.5/5

I read many of the negative reviews, but ended up giving this a chance based on the cast. The central theme of this sci-fi suspense thriller focusses on the question, "How do you know if you are really you?" Imposter has enough visual effects to make you believe its the year 2075 (in Johnny Mnemonicesque fashion), yet focusses on the characters. The cast was great, with every actor/actress living up to their reputation. Sinise and D'Onofrio are especially terrific.
After an initial intense beginning, Imposter eases into a nice fugitive-like flow. This movie has most of the things we like in our Sci-Fi: aliens, fight scences (guns and a little kung fu), futuristic chase scenes, neat mind-twisting philosophical mumbo jumbo, a terrific ending and a little CGI thrown in for good measure.
If I had one complaint its would be the lack of gratuitous T&A. If this really was a "B" movie as many of the reviewers suggest, the T&A would be there (as I had hoped when I purchased this). As for me, I liked it better than the other Philip K. Dick-based movies, Minority Report and Total Recall (and I love Arnold). Imposter does not come across as a "B" movie. While I would not put this in the same class as say Blade Runner, few movies are.
Bottom line - Buy it, you'll like it.

A little under-rated
Considering how quietly this movie snuck in under the radar (for me anyway), it was hard to have the bar raised too far. Read more

I'd give this SIX STARS if I could!!! Don't DEPRIVE yourself
I'm no Trekkie, but I know great SCI-FI movies when I see 'em. This movie was great, from beginning to end, it had me on the edge of my seat, seriously. Read more

this ain't no B-movie
Impressed to say the least. The good: it's a great story that kept my attention to the end, the acting was above par (even for secondary roles), and good Sci-fi is so rare. Read more

Better than "Minority Report"; This is PKD for celluloid!!
The first thing that struck me about this film is that it should've done better than it did. Based on Philip K Dick's short story, "Impostor" delivers the goods, surpassing this... Read more

Solid and entertaining adaption of Dick's story
It's a pretty common theme in Dick's work; it's an inversion of Hitchcock's "wrong man" theme. Imposter works best when Sinise, D'Onfrio and Stowe are on screen. Read more

And The Chase Goes On . . .
As revealed in the featurette of this DVD, "Impostor" was meant to be one story of a three-story anthology flick, but the studio was so impressed that they opted to expand the film... Read more

The Original Short Film is the prize of this DVD!
A very close adaptation to Philip K. Dick's 1953 short story, the original short film was later expanded (more like bloated) to a theatrical length, and it shows. Read more
