Godsend (2004)
The film didn't know what it wanted to be
The acting and directing in this were good, what let it down was, in my view, the screen play by Mark Bomback. He also did Die Hard 4 and the Night Caller, so not a lot under his belt. I think he writes for an American audience rather than European.
This wasn't science fiction, too many science principles were just ignored at random. True science fiction just makes one or two basic assumptions, that are different to our everyday scientific understanding, and then follows through the consequences consistently. It wasn't a psychological thriller as the psychology was all wrong. It wasn't a political statement about cloning since it ignored how cloning works and propagated mumbo jumbo and myths for the sake of a story.
In my view not a film worth making or keeping. I regard it as equivalent to a cheap paperback that you might buy at the train station to while away a long journey and then throw in the rubbish bin as you leave at your destination.
