Disadvantages: acting

This was one of the first DVDs I bought, and certainly for a long time was one of my favourite films. I don't think I hold it in such high regard now, but back then it certainly made me stop and think.

This film is all about a man called Adam Gibson (Arnie Schwarzenegger) who comes home one day to find a clone version of himself has taken his place. He finds himself embroiled in a big conspiracy for clones to take over the world, and becomes a one man show to take on the bad guys.

Ok, Arnie isn't the best actor, and he's as wooden as ever in this film. However, the plot is pretty interesting. It hits the whole religious, God's the only one who can create life angle really well, and is both entertaining and thought provoking.

At its best, it's a high octane action film, using top special effects to produce weapons that make you want to play shooting. However, it's also moral food for thought on a topic that isn't a million miles away from where we are today.

At just over two hours, you would think it may well be a bit too long, but it's not because the action is juxtaposed with the thinking stuff and the result is you never get bored.

All in all, a thought provoking action movie that really does do more than your average film. It's a tad corny at times with the overt message it brings, but for teenage viewers you could do a lot worse.

Summary: do it
