Review by Morning.star
It was OK but beggared my imagination when not only was his wife cloned in 17 days but with her original haircut and roots showing. Moreover, while he removed his family's memories of their youngest child, he would have had to keep them in isolation for the rest of their lives since he'd be unable to remove everyone else's memories of her (neighbours, etc.). And regarding the accident - what was he doing looking everywhere else but the road while driving in such an intense rainstorm? Not a sterling, much less a gold production. Nice digs though.
Review by unofficial reviewer
Despite the fact that some of the science is impossible (like cloning an adult in 17 days to full size), the film is highly entertaining and works well. The plot line follows this genius (Reeves) who brings back most of family from death by cloning them and reintroducing their brain memories into the clones.
The few special effects are well executed, the acting is overall quite good and the story develops easily. It is very easy to allow yourself into the movie and enjoy it.
