hoogenpg This film's one source of interest is that it is based on a screenplay co-written by Orson Welles. Sadly it is quite simply a bad script - convoluted, pretentious, and unmoving. There is nothing here to dispel the fact that in his latter years Welles was a tragic figure who had long since lost the brilliance he had exhibited in the first half of his life. The script, bad acting, and low-budget conspire to give this film turkey status.

Ron Karr I liked this film, particularly at the beginning. The acting was great and it had interesting ideas and some great dialog.Also, there were some very interesting plot twists, but unfortunately the plot didn't hold up overall. About halfway through, its credibility began to decline seriously. The William Hurt character began to act in a completely unbelievable way for someone who was running for governor. So you kind of had to forget about the story and focus on the mood, the emotions and relationships, which were enough to keep things interesting.

nunculus It might seem hard to imagine that a movie based on an Orson Welles script, starring William Hurt, Nigel Hawthorne, Natasha Richardson and Irene Jacob couldn't get a theatrical release. Get a snootful of ten or fifteen minutes of this flatliner and you'll understand why. The movie does make one contribution to Welles scholarship: it proves once and for all that in the case of the superhuman Welles, the words of the page were not the main event.

dewey22 This is a movie that someday will be remade so that it can be understood by those who haven't read the script. The premise of the movie is that a guy switches identity with his brother (I think) and proceeds to live their lives as one another.It is not convincing as to the reason why both would want to do so or how this would be pulled off for those who knew them. Overall most viewers should find this something to avoid.
