The Chameleon (2010)
Member Rating:  
A family welcomes home a missing child, but he may not be all he seems to be in this suspense drama. Nicholas Barclay was a 13-year-old living in Louisiana with his family when he mysteriously disappeared, and though his mother, Kimberly (Ellen Barkin), and sister, Kathy (Emilie de Ravin), have been hopeful he'll be found, after three years it seems increasingly unlikely. To their surprise, Nicholas (Marc-André Grondin) returns home one day, claiming he'd been kidnapped by child predators but finally escaped. Kimberly and Kathy are overjoyed and welcome him home with open arms. Nicholas' brother-in-law, Brian (Brian Geraghty), senses this young man isn't really Nicholas, though, and Jennifer Johnson (Famke Janssen), an FBI agent looking into the case, shares his suspicions. But if Brian and Jennifer are convinced Nicholas is an imposter, why aren't Kimberly and Kathy willing to acknowledge the same evidence? Based on a true story, The Chameleon was the first English-language feature from French director Jean-Paul Salomé. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Good movie. Keeps you interested with the mystery: is he or isn't he the son? It is based on a true story. I thought Ellen Barkin did an excellent job!

Daniel M.

The movie should have been better. The characters were dry and boring. The fake southern accents ruined any believability. Boring moving.

Catherine R.

This movie was okay not bad but not good either. If you have nothing else to do or watch its worth it! It is better than Hanna though.

Yes   |   No


Sandra C.

I had it figured out that he was not the real son, but I kept waiting for him to tell the cops that the real son was murdered. It was an ok movie. I just didn't like the way it ended.
