60/100 A genetically created being, who holds the secret to immortality, and an ex-agent, with a terminal brain tumor, are on the run from ..well, everyone. I expected an exciting action thriller and this is not that, although it did have some excellent moments. It's a very good film though as it spends it's time, in between action sets, becoming extremely close and personal to our two main protagonists as they philosophize on what constitutes life, death and immortality. As such, one becomes intimately close to the characters making the ending painfully impactful. It's good. -- DrNostromo.com
