This movie never appeared in theatres... Big mistake. It was great, thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Van Damme has really dug himself out of the hole drugs had him in a few years ago. He's 41, in great shape and doing the best acting of his career. Replicant was an original story... how many stories have you heard where they clone a serial killer? and it raised very interesting sociological questions: Is the killer's killer instinct biological or something caused by society? The film gives the impression that the latter is the case. Van Damme did a stupendous job acting the Replicant, he really seems like an animal in a world it doesn't understand but is learning to. His role as a bad guy was almost too good, that is to say he's so good one might want to see him again in a bad guy role. And Micheal Rooker does a bang-up job for his part as well. Great movie, well filmed by Lam, must see and remember... think while watching. :)
