Review of Mimic (1997) by Lynda C — 21 Apr 2010
(from The Watermark, 08/30/97).
Though everything about it screams B-movie, the film actually has a lot going for it. Sorvino is a bug scientist who breeds a special species of cockroach in order to kill an existing species that carries a deadly disease. Years later, she comes to realize her experiment has gone awry, and the critters have evolved in size and shape into a form that can mimic the physical traits of humans. Along with doctor/husband Northam and NYPD cop Dutton, she needs to get rid of these big new bugs before they destroy all human life. The performances are all very good, and best of all, the direction and scenic design complement the script very well with light gore and heavy suspense.
