I love this movie so much
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
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.
Incognito is the best movie ever!!!only 4 movies are almost that good,after dark,my sweet,sliver,bridget jones`s diary and road trip...so this movie was just amazing!!!how somebody can do and act something like that?i think Jason Patric was WONDERFUL!!!!!and when that art what Harry Donovan had made of Rembrandt"blind man" went to the museum...oh my god!! it was just lovely and the best end ever!!!!:D
I have seen this movie more times than any other. There is something unusual about this movie: you like it but can not really figure out what exactly makes you feel that way. There is suspense and drama here. The direction is good and so is the part played by the actors. The story grips you almost from the beginning until the last scene. The movie lets you roam around the inner circles of art and forgery. Probably all this adds up to make it a movie that one enjoys watching, any time, all the time.
This film was entertaining and fast-moving when it dealt with the world of art forgery. The scenes depicting how a brilliant forger (Jason Patric) created a "lost Rembrandt" were amazing -- I loved how he bought black-market 160-year-old lead white paint so its radioactive half-life would be down to zero. When the movie strays into romance and other areas, it wasn't as deft. Rod Steiger was completely wasted as Patric's ailing father, a minor character who doesn't even rate an on-camera scene in the second half of the film. In some ways this was for the best -- you could put a neon sign around his neck that read "I'm really really sick and keeping it a secret!" and be more subtle than Steiger's performance. The most real thing about this film was forgery, oddly enough, and it was Incognito's saving grace.
