This film is amazingly thoughtless and unplanned. The setup is: A group of evildoers clone a scientist and then release the clone without killing the scientist. So he stalks after the clone (who is doing his girlfriend) and gets arrested and beaten and runs around in a delirious state. And still the evildoers fail to kill him, again and again. The purpose for the clone? More foolish still (I'll leave that for you to find out about on your own).
And yet I am giving it 9 out of 10. There is something in the way that it's all put together that reminds me of being a child in the 70s. The chaotic meaninglessness of life is present in this film. The characters stagger through empty sets and have bland, blunted expressions. The hero behaves with a nihilism that reminds me of Clint Eastwood in the 70s, all spit and vinegar.
The cinematography is weirdly excellent, in the way that 70s films were excellent. Bizarre camera angles. Hideous montage. Washed out saturation. Terrible framing. But it all works.
I highly recommend, but go in with a lot of caution.
