 "If not a home run, then at least a solid base hit."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
 "Though Impostor deviously adopts the guise of a modern motion picture, it too is a bomb."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY
"Has a certain ghoulish fascination, and generates a fair amount of B-movie excitement."
-- William Arnold, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"The film goes from being an unusual sci-fi character study to a chase flick that detracts from its ending."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"What 'Blade Runner' would’ve looked like as a low-budget series on a UHF channel."
-- Tom Block, CULTUREVULTURE.NET
"Impostor has a handful of thrilling moments and a couple of good performances, but the movie doesn't quite fly. For starters, the story is just too slim."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
"The film's few ideas are stretched to the point of evaporation; the whole central section is one big chase that seems to have no goal and no urgency. It's just filler."
-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"The bottom line, at least in my opinion, is Imposter makes a better short story than it does a film."
-- Jim Chastain, NORMAN TRANSCRIPT
"...a fairly disposable yet still entertaining B picture."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Really does feel like a short stretched out to feature length."
-- Michael Dequina, MR. BROWN'S MOVIES
"Boasting some of the most poorly staged and lit action in memory, Impostor is as close as you can get to an imitation movie."
-- Daniel Eagan, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"Impostor can't think of a thing to do with these characters except have them run through dark tunnels, fight off various anonymous attackers, and evade elaborate surveillance technologies."
-- Cynthia Fuchs, POPMATTERS
"It's a mindless action flick with a twist -- far better suited to video-viewing than the multiplex."
-- Susan Granger, WWW.SUSANGRANGER.COM

"Tells (the story) with such atmospheric ballast that shrugging off the plot's persnickety problems is simply a matter of (being) in a shrugging mood."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Impostor is a step down for director Gary Fleder."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"The movie succumbs to being nothing more than a formulaic chase in the dark."
-- Gary Brown, HOUSTON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS
"Hope keeps arising that the movie will live up to the apparent skills of its makers and the talents of its actors, but it doesn't."
-- Bridget Byrne, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"There are so many black holes in Impostor that trying to keep track of them would tax Hawking.
"
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"An uneven look into a grim future that doesn’t come close to the level of intelligence and visual splendour that can be seen in other films based on Philip K. Dick stories."
-- Ryan Cracknell, APOLLO GUIDE
"Has all the values of a straight-to-video movie, but because it has a bigger-name cast, it gets a full theatrical release."
-- Mark Dujsik, MARK REVIEWS MOVIES
"If looking for a thrilling sci-fi cinematic ride, don't settle for this Imposter."
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES
"Philip K. Dick must be turning in his grave, along with my stomach."
-- Rachel Gordon, CULTUREDOSE.NET
"If Sinise's character had a brain his ordeal would be over in five minutes but instead the plot goes out of its way to introduce obstacles for him to stumble over."
-- David Grove, FILM THREAT

"Includes too much obvious padding."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"Unless there are zoning ordinances to protect your community from the dullest science fiction, Impostor is opening today at a theater near you."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
"An amalgam of The Fugitive, Blade Runner, and Total Recall, only without much energy or tension."
-- Gary Dowell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Impostor doesn't do much with its template, despite a remarkably strong cast."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"A so-so, made-for-TV something posing as a real movie."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"Feels less like a cousin to Blade Runner than like a bottom-feeder sequel in the Escape From New York series."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"This movie is something of an impostor itself, stretching and padding its material in a blur of dead ends and distracting camera work."
-- Bob Graham, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"The movie is so thoughtlessly assembled."
-- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"A worthy successor to those sci-fi B-movies of old even if it is nowhere in the league of such Dick-inspired films as Total Recall and Blade Runner."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Automatically pegs itself for the straight-to-video sci-fi rental shelf."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST

"It's of the quality of a lesser Harrison Ford movie - Six Days, Seven Nights, maybe, or that dreadful Sabrina remake."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
