MORGAN'S RATING |

|
 |
|
|
|
|
| Belgium's most successful export, brooding action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme, stars in two opposing roles in this highly original sci-fi action film. When a ruthless serial killer nicknamed "The Torch" proves virtually unstoppable, a cunning detective thinks up an unprecedented and controversial plan in order to catch him. Using the Torch's DNA samples, scientists construct a killer clone programmed to obey the FBI's orders. His mission-- to catch the very human that is the basis of his own being. |

CRITICAL COMMENTS |
|
|
|
"Replicant doesn't even come close to some of Van Damme's better flicks, but it's certainly an improvement over what he's been up to lately." -- David Nusair, Reel Film |
|
|
|
"I was surprised to find Replicant wasn't too bad at all." -- Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope |
|
|
|
"The film on display here was the work of a low rent direct-to-video action film director, not the man who gave John Woo a run for his money..." -- Brian Matherly, Daily-Reviews |
