Absolutely amazing

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

BORING! Lacked any sense of story and any clear definition of
WTF actually went on for 100 minutes.
I resent another reviewer comparing this POS to Phillip K Dick - Erm..... Don't think so, mate! Dick has written some sci-fi gems, fairly successful and with an actual budget. In terms of budget, you only need to look at such films as the original Evil Dead movies, done on a shoestring but still containing a significant POINT, STORY and SOMETHING OTHER THAN A PRETTY BACKGROUND THAT NO-ONE GRASPED WAS THE STORY ITSELF!!!!!!

Slater (Lachlan Nieboer) is celebrating his birthday with Nadia (Nora-Jane Noone) who gets abducted for a better life with "Brand New U." Slater wasn't supposed to be there and gets a new life too from an organization which matches a person with someone else and allows them to take over their life. The catch is that they must forgo their past and have no connection to it. So then they place new Slater and new Nadia working in the same building....guess how that works out.The film, when not a confused mess, was a slow moving drama attempting to create confusion as it unravels it. Perhaps hard core science fiction fans might like it, I couldn't get into it. The main characters were boring and lackluster. They seemed to watch Slater every second of every day...except for that one time.Guide: F-word, brief sex. No nudity.

While many gave low ratings for this film, I liked it because it was a decent attempt at a new topic by relative newcomers. There is indisputably a good amount of visually stunning camera work, no horrific mistakes, and there's a real attempt at doing something different, thought-provoking and memorable.

Rarely can I not figure out what a movie is at least attempting to say, and I don't have a problem with "art" films, either. For example, I really enjoyed Under the Skin--a little hard to figure out, but enough there to create meaning. On the other hand, Identicals was a blissful acid trip, often shifting unexpectedly, long drawn out shots doing little other than spinning wheels, and repetition and overlap that did nothing but confuse. And confuse it did.People appear out of nowhere with little explanation, threats are made to the main characters with little cause, and then there's an organization that appears to want to control some element of society, but we never know exactly who they are or their motivation. And then the end comes and ..... Nada.If not the worst movie I've ever seen, certainly a top five worst- ever candidate. Were there any positives? Actually, I think there is potential here for visually the film was captivating, and if there was more logic and sense tied into the plot (if you can call it that), there is a good foundation to work with. It's not a complete wash but close.
