Gattica
Andrew Nichol, 1997 (8.5*)
One of the most intelligent of the science fiction films, not actually based on shootouts or space battles but on stolen identity, DNA, bias, privacy, individualism. Ethan Hawke is a worker who seems to be hiding a mystery, and we later learn that he’s borrowing DNA from Jude Law, whose character is a paraplegic after an accident. Uma Thurman is around for romantic interest. Without spoilers, you’ll have to see this one to uncover the plot, but don’t expect a lot of action here, more of a mystery plot cloaked in a science fiction futuristic environment.
