Reviews

"This is one of the smartest and most provocative of science fiction films, a thriller with ideas."

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"Niccol's futuristic fable is a gorgeous construct, from its cast on down to the brilliant, clinical nature of the set design that reflects a future in which even a particle of saliva can be one's undoing."

Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
