What was this mess about?

Rating: 5/10 (22 October 2006)

I honestly fail to understand what other reviewers saw in this mess of a movie. You get best actors, a lot of money, mix them up and get something totally indigestible. All these multiple clones - why???? I cannot shake off the impression that the whole movie is a magic trick like the one described by a character, only reversed: you are promised something extraordinary, instead of ordinary, you spend 2 hours waiting for it, and then - abracadabra, there is nothing in it. Big deal - a duplicating machine! And he uses it to create doubles! And kills them every night! So what?! The purpose of art is to tell us about ourselves, in however fancy clothes. There is nothing about human condition in this empty husk of a film.
