  Predictable but okay
  
  I was interested to see Gary Sinise in something other than CSI NY and this film did not disappoint. It was a good tale, well told, but a tad predictable.

  Very good!
  
  A surprisingly good SF film with believable action all the way through. Clever ending too.

  The imposter
  
  I absolutely loved the movie. Gary Sinese stars in very interesting movies. The storyline, although predictable, unravels in a good story-telling way.

  A much better film than expected, with some good fx, and a half decent plot to keep you hooked.

  Didn't see that coming, or maybe I did.
  
  Impostor is a decent enough film with clever twists in the plot.
  
  The acting is of a reasonable calibre, with the “bad cop” played very well... read more »

  Predictable
  
  Average sci-fi flick with a semi-obvious ending, it's like a higher budget episode of the outer limits but without the benifit of the shorter run time.
