- Quotes
Spencer Olham: [recounting the history of the atomic bomb] Oppenheimer sees the madness and urges the U.N. to gain control of thermonuclear development. The government turns around and calls him a Communist sympathizer. And when it was all over, Einstein said, "Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
- Alternate versionsThe movie faced several release dates that were changed many times and one of those times resulting in editing and some reshoots. This was done to edit it down to PG-13 from a previous R rating.

Gary Sinise is always pleasure to watch on screen. And in this case his performance is flawless. D'Onofrio plays the tough security officer with enough passion. Madeline Stowe is rather frigid in her role.
In short, 'Impostor' is a gripping tale with solid plot and enough substance. A must see for every genre fan, regardless of the fact that one of the greatest sci-fi writer has penned the story.
