There's a good movie lurking in here somewhere. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 04/09/2015
A solid sci-fi story with a welcome emotional component, yet never fully effective at either. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray The Dissolve 04/08/2015
2.5/5
The best scenes come early, well before the explanatory extravaganza that the movie turns into down the stretch. Go to Full Review

Thematically ambitious... but falls down where it needs to be strongest: its emotional tenor ranges from inexplicable to implausible. Go to Full Review
Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills 08/21/2018
Conal Byrne does a decent job of carrying all of the various parts, but his performance does not give nuance to each person as an individual character. Go to Full Review

Gabriel G 04/15/2023 I won't state anything new that hasn't been said. Well shot and superbly acted but slow as a snail. It really is a shore to sit through. There's a good movie somewhere in there but there's no sense of urgency, you don't care about the characters, some of the character's actions are completely non-sensical (so we don't care) -- in order words the script needed more work. See more 08/16/2017 This was really, really terrible. See more 05/21/2016 It was okay. The twists felt forced, and I hated how they were always switching clothes, because I was confused on which clone was who. Skip it, it's questionable. The ending makes sense, but when the wife makes a remark about her necklace, you can tell how the movie resolves. See more 12/26/2015 An interesting enough idea, but it's poorly realised. See more 09/30/2015 Interesting concept with a couple twists, but it's such a snoozefest it's hard to really care. See more 09/19/2015 Biotech version of "Primer" with the morality of "Puzzlehead" thrown in. See more Read all reviews
