Mysterious thriller, that's something I really enjoy. It's just hard to find a movie as good as the classic like a piece of Seven. The murders according to the template were fine. I was entertained. Sigourney Weaver is a bit weird here and I didn't quite understand her character, but in the overall context of the detective story, it didn't bother me and the film absolutely deserves three stars.

Alien is unique, or how the unforgettable Ellen Ripley rode on the wave of her famous name after a phenomenal success. If Copycat was supposed to be an original and intellectual crime thriller about mass murders, it definitely didn't succeed as it should have. Pros? An amazing Holly Hunter, an excellent Dermot Mulroney, and even Sigourney Weaver as a mentally unstable psychologist can be proud of her performance. Cons? A bland and unexciting screenplay, many unresolved plotlines and inconsistencies, uneven tension, fluctuating pace, and simply too obvious made-for-TV execution. A film that blended into the grayness and mediocrity of contemporary Hollywood.
