Great idea, shame about the end result.
In this disappointing thriller we meet a bearded De Niro going through the motions as a great scientist who clones the son of a grieving couple who was killed in a car crash. The result is tragic and horrifying.
The film is much the same. There is a stronger, more thought-provoking film to be made about the morality of cloning given that this one manages not to touch, with any passing seriousness, the bases. At times it doesn't even manage to make sense; and as for De Niro, one suspects a clone was sent in his place.
1/5
