There Is No Gene For The Human Spirit

Futuristic story of a genetically imperfect man and his seemingly unobtainable goal to travel in space.

"I'll never understand what possessed my mother to put her faith in God's hands, rather than her local geneticist."

Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law give great performances in this futuristic mystery. I like the mix of future and film noir in this flick and also the concept driving the movie. Are genetically engineered humans better then humans made the old fashioned way? The movie is very clean nice colors great lines, it was an art deco starkeness to it and then the end kinda makes me mad. It has kind of a lame ending. I still like it a lot but more for the beginning and middle of it. Jude Law is great in this movie. It is a futuristic sci - fi movie that uses style instead of special effects and acting instead of action.
