CAST Arnold Schwarzenegger

NOTES We are introduced to a world in which dead pets are cloned in shopping mall stores and people are cloned a little less publicly and wholly illegally. Schwarzenegger's character is cloned by mistake and gets mixed up with corporate corruption. This is essentially a thriller and very well done with fast action and also some intriguing scenes like where Schwarzenegger watches his clone playing happy families with his wife.
The head scientist of the corporation doing the illegal cloning has a wife who is dying of cancer and he is tempted to clone her (or, I got confused here, she has already died and been cloned). But the film isn't interested in following this line of application. The corporation is too busy cloning its 'shock troops' every time they are killed, which is often.
