Review of Mimic

On the surface, "Mimic" appears to be your average scientific-experiment-goes-awry-and-kills-people story. But it has a certain charm to itself that few movies attain. Maybe it's that the cast members understand that they're in sort of a nonsense story, so they don't take it too seriously to make the movie stupid, or that the performances make the whole thing come out pretty clever, but either way, the movie is very easy to like. I certainly thought that they did a good job, even if the movie is rather predictable.

So see it. Mira Sorvino, Charles S. Dutton, Giancarlo Giannini and F. Murray Abraham (happy birthday, F. Murray!) all turn in some swell performances. This movie won't "bug" you at all.
