New York Daily News
It's a pleasure to watch a thinking-man's actor like Sinise adapt so easily to this challenge; he even keeps his dignity when forced to participate in the inevitable martial arts-inflected showdown. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Plays around with some interesting notions, such as the nature of reality, the nature of humanity, and the nature of spiffy apartments with sleek bathroom fixtures. - 63
Baltimore Sun
It's considerably flawed. It has a middle that's padded, a look that could use a few more light bulbs, a protagonist who never earns our sympathy, and an audio mix that leans much too heavily on the bass, often making it impossible to understand what's being said. - 50
New York Post
Unfortunately, Impostor doesn't do much with its template, despite a remarkably strong cast. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Likely to be best appreciated by dedicated sci-fi fans, admirers of Dick in particular. It hasn't the stupendous razzle-dazzle of a mega-budget picture like "A.I. Artificial Intelligence." - 42
Portland Oregonian
It's a yawn for the most part, depending on dull characters and uninvolving twists. - 40
Variety
Imposter is a penny-pinched "Blade Runner," a stubbornly unexciting ride into the near future. - 40
Rolling Stone
Director Gary Fleder ("Don't Say a Word") pushes the same old cliches in "Blade Runner" packaging.
