The 6th Day (2000): Dir: Roger Spottiswoode / Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Duvall, Michael Rapaport, Michael Rooker, Wendy Crewson: What the sixth day indicates I am not sure but claims are that it indicates that God created man on day sixth. Then someone decided to create this film, which has the idea but lacks the payoff. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a helicopter pilot in the future who arrives home only to discover a clone of himself celebrating his birthday with his family. What is truly interesting is that it is the clone doing the observing but doesn't realize that he is a clone. Robert Duvall plays a doctor who is trying to legally clone people since his wife is dying. Headquarters have already cloned assassins sent to kill him. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode who also made the James Bond action film Tomorrow Never Dies. Schwarzenegger appears to be having fun with duo roles. There is a scene where the clone anticipates killing the real version but cannot bring himself to do it. Duvall as the doctor is interesting because his wife is dying yet she doesn't desire to be cloned. Michael Rapaport as Schwarzenegger's partner has moments of comic relief but the role is cardboard. Michael Rooker is also featured as a villain. Wendy Crewson plays Schwarzenegger's wife who isn't in on the situation. Well made action film about the value of life. Score: 7 / 10
