A unique movie, 22 March 2001
Author: (caspian1978@hotmail.com) from Attleboro, MA

I reason why Clones is taken for a bad movie is because of the films direction. Clones was directed by two directors. Without even looking at the credits, you can tell by the two different styles of direction seen during the movie. One direction is clearly bad as the camera is hand held and always moving. The other direction is classic 1974 "trip" direction that makes you feel like your on a drug. The story is excellent. Original science fiction that can only be matched with Boys from Brazil. A misunderstood film. Worth watching to check out the great ending it has. Trust me.
