In the not too distant future, when cloning plants, pets and human organs is accepted, a sinister corporation has begun illegally duplicating entire human beings. One night Adam Gibson (Schwarzenegger), an old-fashioned family man and decorated fighter pilot, comes home to find his perfect life has been stolen by his clone. Suddenly plunged into a sinister world of murder, corruption and high-tech deception, he is torn from his family as relentless assassins desperately try to kill him to bury the evidence.
But this time they cloned the wrong man, and Adam will risk anything to reclaim his family and life.
From the director of "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The Sixth Day" also stars powerhouse actors Robert Duvall ("Gone in 60 Seconds", "Deep Impact") and Michael Rapaport ("Deep Blue Sea", "Cop Land").
My thoughts:
If you're reading this, the chances are that you were born with a huge basket of privileges; such as wealth, race, gender, time and geography. Sometimes we take these things for granted, I know I do. So for now I'd like you to give a few minutes thought for others less fortunate than yourself. Imagine for a second that you didn't have these advantages and the opportunities they bring you. How would you manage? How would you cope? Could you? And now try to go a bit further, try to imagine being an individual who doesn't have all of this good fortune. Imagine, if you can, being a script writer, a writer faced with creating a character and story for Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in, that eclipses the Terminator, the Predator, the Running Man, Conan, even Kindergarten Cop; (well maybe not Kindergarten Cop). Can you imagine how difficult it is to function in that sort of environment? Can you really? Not easy is it?
The 6th Day sees Arnie doing what Arnie does best. (The plot is something to do with cloning and stuff; it's actually pretty good, if you're one of the sickos that likes to see a story with your multi-million pound action.) Lots of explosions, helicopters, ray guns, impossible feats of physical prowess and even more improbable demonstrations of luck and good fortune. It's all great fun and addresses potentially quite a serious question, before being buried under an avalanche of action and plot holes.
But back to my original observation. What could you possible do, faced with the sort of impossible odds that even an Arnold Schwarzenegger character would think twice about facing? Well I take my hat (well it's a sort of beanie really) off to the script-writing couple responsible for this film. It's a film about cloning, so why not have two Arnold Schwarzeneggers running about dealing with bad guys? Brilliant! Of course they'll get on too, we can't have the 20th Century's biggest action hero fighting with himself really, can we? Baddies never have a chance against one Arnie, so faced with two it's a pretty all-around crap day for them here.
Recommended for; look, it's an Arnold Schwarzenegger action film; you'll know if it's for you or not.
1 cat and no decapitations. A nice, cute, grey and black stripy cat in a cardboard box, (but not in the box in a cruel way). Even has a speaking part but shamefully remains uncredited at the end.
Top badass moment? Every time Arnold Schwarzenegger is on the screen. For the $25 million he's supposed to have been paid to make this movie, I'd expect nothing less.
7 out of 10.

When you are stripped inside and they project other spirits to form you into someone else. When they build over you. When they label everyone for potentials and give them new identities according to what plans they have for the new spiritual beings they place in you. When they first form the spirits and then the flesh conforms to the spiritual likeness. It's playing God. Mysteries of God revealed.
