I rewatch this DVD every year. It never fails to move me. It is my favorite style of science fiction -- very real and even probable in its suspenseful plot and deeply human issues. This is the story of a modern hero who fights to fulfill a destiny of his choice, rather than the one dictated to him by society because of his genes. The movie makes you think, will the day come when genetically engineered humans will lord it over normally born people? Of course! That day already is dawning, with some companies testing employees for flaws such as drug use, smoking and certain diseases. Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman lead an excellent cast in a well paced story that gives you time to think and feel. The music is wonderful and the ending both poignant and and satisfying. Highly recommended.
