    Storyline

    Edit
    The organization Brand New-U identifies networks of IDENTICALS - people who walk like you, talk like you, but are walking through different, better lives - and helps their customers make a life upgrade: eliminating the better-life donor, and relocating their client to that brand new life. Slater seems to have the perfect life, the perfect job and the perfect girlfriend. But when Slater's girlfriend is abducted by Brand New-U, and a corpse left in her place, he is forced to become an Identical. As he moves through a series of parallel lives, he becomes more and more obsessed with finding his girlfriend, but what he must find in the end is himself.

    3/10
    Ratings lie!
    At best this is a 3/10. IMDb is not reliable when it comes to the user ratings for the first couple of months or more as most people know, to see 1000's of people giving this movie a 9,10/10 rating is sickening! Do the film makers pay people for the score or is it the whole cast and crew giving the 10/10 lol. Please stop! it makes you look even worse.

    Avoid this movie and save your time for something more worthwhile, like a walk to the shops or some gardening.
