I teach English and currently use this movie in a team-teaching project with science and social studies on eugenics.  I love that the movie doesn't rely on pointless chase-scenes or high-tech rot to tell a chilling story.  Ethan Hawke as Vincent(Jerome) has you rooting for him from the beginning.  Jude Law is heartbreaking as the "perfect" human who is all-too-flawed.  And who doesn't like watching Uma Thurman?  Two thumbs way up!
