Despite a concept that engages with deep moral questions, ‘Replicas’ struggles with coherence in its execution. The film sparks interest with its premise but falls short on delivering a tightly-knit plot, often leaving viewers puzzled over its scientific leaps and plot decisions. However, the performances, especially by Reeves, provide some salvage to an otherwise underwhelming narrative. Overall, it makes for a mildly entertaining watch if one doesn’t probe too deeply into its scientific accuracies.
