Tony Scott and Curtis Hanson were attached to the movie in the '90s when Disney was producing the movie. Because computer effects were not advanced enough at the time, the studio cancelled the project.
So that he wouldn't question their strong facial resemblance, Junior was never shown a photo of Henry, but it's unbelievable that a highly trained assassin would try to hunt and kill a target that he couldn't recognize on sight, or not even question why this information was being kept from him, since this ignorance would greatly increase the chance of him killing the wrong person.
Perhaps my expectations were too high. But I felt the whole clone subplot and main theme of this movie was wasted on this flick. It was too bland with absolutely nothing standing out and it could've been wholly replaced.
It's hard to pinpoint the problems in the story other than being mediocre and unimaginative. The whole clone aspect was definitely wasted here. And I kept questioning the motifs of the characters involved.
Some of the action scenes were good and I enjoyed them. But overall I'm fairly certain I'll pass on rewatching this.
