Too much of everything

Thanks for the memories!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

You are roped into this movie within the first few minutes. It is very clever, entertaining, historical and informative. The acting is superb. I've watched this movie four times so far and would watch it again tonight to share it with someone special. My wife never watches a movie more than once but has viewed this one three times. Her comment was that there is something about this movie that makes you want to see it again.They should have eliminated the scene with the telephone booth because the lock on the outside of the booth made no sense at all. I don't know what they were thinking. But if you can overlook this one flaw you are in for a real treat. Ignore the few pans above and trust the people that gave it good reviews. My recommendation is that you buy the movie instead of renting it because you will want to watch it again and again. By the way, this is the first movie I have ever been tempted to submit a review for.

Art forgery cloned into a James Bond" movie, with an utterly bad script. Coincidences abound, and everything seems totally contrived, like they started out with the ridiculous court scene, and then tried to make everything fit leading up to it. To think that a judge and jury would sit "spellbound" for hours on end watching Jason Patric paint a "masterpiece" in an afternoon is beyond ridiculous. And speaking of Jason Patric, his character is so unlikable that the only one to sympathize with is the long suffering audience. Rod Steiger is totally wasted, and so was my hour and forty eight minutes, watching this total nonsense. - Merk

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.

Well, not technically sound all the way through, but for 2am on HBO, this is quite a good little movie. Patric seems a little lost, and the whole thing with his father isn't done very well, but Jacob is always nice to watch, and there were enough interesting parts and nice shots, to keep one's attention. In any event, watching those paintings was pretty cool. Pretty good. All in all, a rather pleasant movie.
