For more than a decade, earthlings have battled an alien force that is stronger, smarter and more deadly than anything the human race has encountered. To protect themselves from destruction, most of the planet's been covered by a force-field dome

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 27, 2023

The familiarity of the themes doesn't detract from the entertainment value of a fragile underdog against overwhelming forces.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 30, 2020

Despite its shortcomings, Impostor is a solid science fiction film.

| Feb 28, 2020

[S]ure to become a B-movie sci-fi classic... unpredictable, sinister and thought-provoking -- with very cool bathroom fixtures.

A great cast can't save the poor script.

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

A miasma of indifferent screenwriting and wobbly performances.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

The performances are solid, with Sinise's sobriety and lack of histrionics, especially, making him an anchoring and sympathetic presence.

What happened here?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2005

The history behind Impostor is perhaps more compelling than the film itself.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 21, 2004

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 20, 2003

Originally slated as a 40 minute installment in a sci-fi trilogy film, Impostor should have been left that way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2003

There's one thing you can say about Imposter - it does have the appropriate title. Fleder's ill-conceived actioner flick poses as a thriving sci-fi adventure but its real identity is that of a glossy-looking, predictable lukewarm futuristic yarn.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 4, 2003

A worthy successor to those sci-fi B-movies of old even if it is nowhere in the league of such Dick-inspired films as Total Recall and Blade Runner.

Full Review | Oct 15, 2002

Worth the ticket price -- mainly for the surprise ending and set design -- and most of its 96 minutes is absorbing.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 2, 2002

An uneven look into a grim future that doesn't come close to the level of intelligence and visual splendour that can be seen in other films based on Philip K. Dick stories.

Full Review | Original Score: 60/100 | Sep 18, 2002

It's edgy, fast-paced, and if you don't take it too seriously, a lot of fun.

| Aug 17, 2002

Sinise is quite good as the guy trying desperately to prove that he's innocent, even as he has nagging self-doubts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2002

...too little material for too much screen time.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 20, 2002

While it's entertaining at the time, you probably won't remember too much of it the morning after.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 21, 2002

The film sags in its second act, but it's interesting, high-IQ sci-fi, and if ever a film spoke to America's post-September 11 paranoia, this one does.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 18, 2002
