Vincent Towers (Michael Harris) and Clay Arlington (Dennis Haysbert), identical-looking half-brothers, do not meet until their father's funeral. Vincent convinces Clay to switch lives with him, and Clay accepts. Clay, however, doesn't know that Vincent killed their father and, in an effort to fake his own death and get away with the crime, plans to murder Clay as well. Clay lives through the first attempt on his life. But, left amnesic and confused, how long can he survive?

Michael Sragow The New Yorker May 8, 2017
It pivots on questions of what constitutes identity-the internal stuff of life or the external components of race, wealth, and status. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Little White Lies Jul 5, 2016
a bold, confident debut that knows exactly what it is, and has a lot of fun letting its viewers reconstruct and reconcile its separated pieces. For here everything - and nothing - is black and white. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
2.5/4
It's the kind of movie that holds your attention and is splendid to look at, but after it's over you feel empty, because there wasn't much there, really, except for the visual ideas. Go to Full Review
Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 24, 2020
2.5/4.0
A quality film that never quite found the audience it deserved. Go to Full Review
Charles Mudede The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2018
This is neo-noir at its strangest and boldest. Go to Full Review
Malcolm L. Johnson Hartford Courant May 15, 2018
McGehee and Siegel unfold this deep psychological tale with blurry flashes and flashbacks from Clay's fragmented mind. The scenes in the present have an unfocussed look, too. It is all rather like a B-picture from the '50s. Go to Full Review
