Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Any SciFi fan who has read Robert Heinlein's classic "Friday" will feel at home with this very gripping story, which is yet very different.A young woman, a laboratory genetic creation (a "sub" in this movie), moves outside the parameters of her merciless programming to protect a young boy from her own agency.She has been programmed as the perfect Federal agent, naturally with some enhanced abilities, and a total incapacity to feel emotion. Bobbie Phillips excellently portrays the conflict as she goes against everything she has been taught, and begins experiencing the feelings of a human being. Probably the most poignant part of the movie is watching her awaken as a lover; she had been taught to use sex as a tool, nothing more.The movie is well-paced, with a pleasant minimum of gore. There are some minor inconsistencies, (lasers barking like .44 handguns?), but the effects are very well done, and the acting, on the whole, far better than average.I gave this movie a 9; take off a couple of points if you don't like SciFi. But this movie passes the most important test - I would definitely watch it again.

This is one of those movies that you would slate if you paid money to see it on the big screen...but as a made-for-TV film, it ain't half bad. Bobbie Phillips is gorgeous and has a real presence. She deserves to go on to bigger and better things. The film itself is nothing original and attempts to be all things to all viewers...part action, part drama, with a touch of sex thrown in for good measure. I'd give it a go, if you're in the mood for nothing substantial. 6 or 7 out of 10, in my opinion.

Chameleon, starring Bobbie Phillips was a Tour de Force. Special effects were astounding, the acting was top notch. Bobbie Phillips was THE only choice to play Kam, the way she went from "maternal" to "assassin" to "maternal" to "assassin" and so forth, was well played. Gan(the boy) was a fresh dose of reality, so innocent etc.... I will surly watch Chameleon 2 when it is aired. I give Chameleon an 8 out of 10.

"Chameleon" features excellent acting by Bobbie (Dr. Bug Lady from the X-Files) Phillips whose buff muscle-play reinforces her role as a genetically engineered human. The young actor who portrays Gan, the kid, also displays an accomplished flair for drama--very rare. The effects including a cool skin camouflage are used judiciously and successfully. The intelligent script relies heavily on the characters--which is always a good thing in my book. I get the feeling UPN was considering this movie as a pilot. It's a shame they didn't run with it.
