Mr. Murder (1999)
Member Rating:  
A scientific experiment gone wrong causes a man to become his own evil twin in this made-for-TV thriller. Marty Stillwater (Stephen Baldwin) would seem to have it made; he has a beautiful wife, two loving daughters, and a great career as a bestselling mystery novelist. However, it soon seems there's a fly in the ointment -- or, more accurately, some of Marty's blood. An evil but brilliant industrialist's son is working with rogue scientists to create an army of superhuman mercenaries through DNA cloning who will do his bidding and conquer the world. However, a sample of Marty Stillwater's blood is used for the cloning process instead of DNA from the pumped-up warrior the would-be world leader had in mind. The clone, named Alfie, has murder on its mind, just as the scientists wanted, but it looks like Marty, talks a bit like Marty and even seems to share a few of Marty's thoughts -- enough of them that it finds Marty's home and moves in, and before long his family is wondering why Dad is displaying a split personality. Dean Koontz's Mr. Murder was originally shown as a two-part miniseries on ABC in April 1999. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    My brother tried his best to warn me but I didn't listen because I loved the book. Don't rent anything with the blond Baldwin, he said. Boy, how I should have listened. In addition to his poor acting, the suspense was totally killed by showing us the bad guys and their back story in the opening scenes. There was no tension, no mystery and no suspense at all.

    This movie was excellent (even with Baldwin's boring acting) until the ending then it turned into a childs movie and insulted my intellegence.

    Stephen Baldwin is able to take one the best Dean Koontz books ever and make it a complete bore. The book was a none-stop page turner. The movie is a complete snoozer mainly due to Baldwin's inability to act.
