Yes, it is somewhat derivative from Blade Runner. It is low budget, somewhat predictable, the characters are not well developed. Take the detective. Why does he hate simulants so much? It's touched in the end but barely. I can't relate to his hatred for the entire movie. He should be an ambiguous character, but he just comes across as hateful instead. And not redeemed too. Just a hateful schmuck who gets what he deserves.
There are goofs and plot holes:
* The replicant punches a guy so hard that he flies 15 yards away and just gets up and walks?
* The detective goes everywhere with a bunch of goons and suddenly he goes alone? Because stupid or what?
* The replicant is so very smart but in the end goes to a location which is definitely known to the enemy and he can't see that?
* The Evil Megacorp with endless budget knowns that something shady is going on but they send just a single not too smart detective to investigate?
But overall it's entertaining. I felt engaged at least half of the time. The twist in the end is a bit unexpected. It's worth one and a half hours.
