Perhaps it's appropriate that a horror flick about cloning should be a derivative affair...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 18, 2019

A bad thriller that is too intense for tweens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 24, 2010

"Godsend" suffers from a feeble plot, laughable dialogue, and thriller cliches that barely effect the characteristic jolts of the genre.

| Original Score: D+ | May 8, 2009

As anticipated the climax is very abrupt and unresolved, but by then I just didn't care, and was so glad to see this junk come to an end.

| Apr 29, 2009

It ends up like any mass produced genre piece in which the only thing that is well developed is the film negative.

| Oct 18, 2008

Occasionally suspenseful but more often ludicrous.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

It seems a shame to waste any of these actors on a movie with no higher aspirations than educing a few second-rate chills.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 10, 2007

As in most bad thrillers, the number of pointless shocks increases in direct proportion to the drama's decreasing vitality, like defibrilator paddles jolting a dying man.

| Jan 5, 2007

The script is long on the Big Issues, but comes up short in compelling dialogue. It needed a couple more drafts.

[Relies] on cheap shocks instead of honestly exploring how the parents of a dead child might feel about raising his clone.

Full Review | Jul 22, 2006

An embarrassingly nonsensical misfire.

Robert de Niro - once great actor whose name on a poster now tells anyone interested in good film to run to the hills

| Original Score: 2/10 | Oct 10, 2005

This pudgy, obvious DeNiro is definitely not the one I grew up admiring.

| Original Score: C | May 3, 2005

A film that was so by-the-numbers that they filmed FIVE (count 'em) five different endings.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 22, 2005

I had the decency to stay in the theatre for the duration -- the filmmakers could have at least done the same and finished the darned movie.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Apr 1, 2005

Some bad horror flicks take a while to reveal their ineptitude, but not so Godsend; it's identified as a chunk o' junk during the opening credits!

| Original Score: 0/5 | Aug 21, 2004

Takes potentially interesting material and turns it into sleazy genre trash.

| Aug 8, 2004

None of it is compelling in the least because it's readily apparent that all aspects of the plot serve no real function other than to create "creepy kid" scenes.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 5, 2004

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 12, 2004

Ultimately it falls apart because of its compulsion to keep the twists coming.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 3, 2004
