terrible... so disappointed.

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

What can I add to those little reviews I read? My rating speaks for itself; I'll just say it's been a couple of (more likely half-a-dozen)years since i saw it; and let me tell you I had to find it here, using the search engine... having been reminded of it by yet another oldie i watched on TV the other day. You get it? I couldn't even remember its title, but i vividly remembered - longed for - both leads' acting; the fairy-tale like plot. To me (and I'm glad to a handful of other viewers)this film is "something else", really. Pity those directors, those same creators haven't come up with more of the same. ...Well, it's pretty logical, given its dainty ephemeral character...PS. I have yet to obtain the actual DVD :)

Although sometimes way too slow-moving and not as involving as it should have been, this film was almost a "keeper" in my collection.The story was different, and I liked it, about an artist producing a fake Rembrandt. Jason Patric, an interesting and underrated actor, played the role on the con 'artist,' so to speak. Appealing-looking Irene Jacob, played the female lead. She was likable, unlike Patric's character.There are some interesting moments in this film, particularly for those who love art. There also are a few nice shots of Jacob that should please most male viewers. Overall, nothing that super but decent and worth a rental. It's different, I'll say that.....but don't expect a lot.

An English language foreign intrigue film, "Incognito" sticks Jason Patric in the spotlight as a forger of classical paintings with an attitude who is consigned to paint a Rembrandt while having to juggle pigments and palettes, father/son issues, a lovely art expert (Jacob), a bunch of art dealer/fences, a murder, and eventually a court of law. Though Patric's limited acting ability is evident throughout, there is sufficient material in this film to make it interesting if not engrossing. You'll get to see how a forgery might be done, some good European shooting locations, and Jacob topless while the film examines issues with some depth such as why a forger can't make a legit buck when he paints better than the old master he's forging, etc. Probably a more worthy film than its obvious absence of accolades would suggest, "Incognito" should prove and enjoyable watch for fans of the players and anyone with an interest in classical painting.

This movie made me very frustrated. It is a well acted movie, especially by Irene Jacob, but even Jason Patric does a an OK job. The villain is quite general but well conceived.The biggest problem is the script, which is very intelligent. So why is this a problem? Because no matter how intelligent it is, it still has huge holes. For example, in the beginning Harry (Jason Patric) is seen running from the police on TV. Was there a cameraman present? And why is the TV black-and-white? Then after him and Marieke know each better (if you get my drift), she says that she has to leave in a hurry, yet she is not hurrying. Also, why does Alastair (Thomas Lockyer) kill his Korean partner? Wasn't it enough to accuse Harry of theft? Finally I saved the worst for last: They (Harry and Marieke) are in a London suburbs and Harry uses the phone. Then Marieke who believed herself kidnapped locks Harry in the telephone booth. She locks him from the outside!!!!What is the logic in that? I can understand the lock to be on the inside (Harry's side) but on the outside?!Yet if you'd like to see a well structured, yet flawed thriller, see "Incognito". It has a boring beginning, an exciting middle and an utterly unsatisfying ending.5/10
