This movie has a lot of interesting sci-fi elements. It's philosophical, atmospheric, sensual. The acting by Spader and Basset is excellent, as is their characterizations and chemistry.

I've read a few reviews that claim this movie is bad, but they don't state any compelling reasons why it's "so bad."

Fans of sci-fi will enjoy this. Those who aren't fans, no one here cares about your opinion.

Formulaic, boring. I wasn't compelled to care about the characters or the story. Interesting moral dilemmas always ended in the clichéd sentimental choice. For example, the climax, Capt throwing away his shield and most probably his life for his "friendship." I would expect Capt America to be intensely responsible for his life, for he has the potential to save millions or billions of people many times over. His choice was illogical and irresponsible to the larger context of his life and humanity. The way his character is morally structured, it didn't make sense.

I'm always baffled by these superheroes/saviors/good guys who are chased around and have no problem causing mass destruction and loss of life. Unless their mindset is to survive for the good of the many vs the few, although that mindset doesn't see coherence through the movie. Just another stupid movie, in my opinion.
