Dieu Le Veut K "Copycat" is a satisfyingly atmospheric film, an exhilirating experience, and an inspiring production that captivates spectators from the beginning to the end credits. The creators selected a cast that elevates the quality of the production, a score that renders it a feature that I consider to be a classic of its own genre enthralling, and sets that immerse you as a viewer in its universe. With fascinating characters, an astounding cinematography, and a compelling narrative, Copycat's producers provided us with an ambitious project that showcases that smartly combining aspects of visual storytelling can generate a production that is ambitious, unique, and that has the capacity to have spectators caught up in an experience that is entertaining, gripping, and appealing to most that enjoy cinema. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Lola R This movie was incredible. As french people learning english and having a clichee look on american movies we were surprised to see an actual plot with an exciting course of events. WE RECOMAND IT . And the cast was amazing as well Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Very, very underrated thriller. I've seen it a few times - it's not as good as silence of the lambs, but it's the same type of movie and really pretty good - if you liked lambs, watch this, you'll enjoy it. Beware - a little scary, graphic violence Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Calvin T Better than I thought it was gonna be 💯 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Copycat: A Vida Imita aMorte Assistido: 13-7-25 Elenco: @sigourneyweaver.hun @glam4lyf @dermontmulroney @williammcnamara108 @harryconnickjr Modelo: #suspense #policial Duração: 2h Ano: 1995 Minha opinião: Este filme Sigourney interpreta Hudson, uma escritora de serial killers, que os estuda. E em um dos ultimos casos que ela estava ajudando a policia ela foi capturado pelo serial Cullun (Connick), mas ele a deixou viva e foi preso. E desde então a dra. fica traumatizado e fica presa em seu apartamento, sem conseguir sair. E inicia umm nova onde crimes que imitam vários famosos assassinos que é investigado por M.J (Hunter) e Reuben (Mulroney). A as investigações levam eles a pedirem ajuda a dra. Hudson. MAs o serial que imita outros Foley (McNamara) esta atrás da dra. sendo ela a cereja do bolo de seu plano. E invasão do apartamento da dra. e o terrorismo que ele causa a ela. será que ela irá superar? Em uma emocionante caça a Foley. Vale apena assistir? Uma boa atuação de Sigourney, vale apena assistir. Um filme de suspense policial. Nota: 7 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review John R. This was my kind of movie! So fun! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
