Clones Who Can question and Think

You wake up every morning, your clothes are clean, your shoes in the same place you left them the night before, and you go to your job. Life is normal, or so you think. The lottery and it's prize, The Island: the perfect utopia for mankind to reproduce after "the contamination". The lottery is believed to be random but Lincoln Six-Echo (Ewan McGregor) ,a clone housed in an underground former military bunker, is beginning to question his environment and everything in it. What Lincoln doesn't know is that he is "spare parts" used for the well being of his "sponsor". This action-Thrill ride from Michael Bay( Bad Boys) questions cloning. Is it right to create life only to kill it for a paying customer? The Island features a great villain (Sean Bean from Goldeneye)and a great supporting cast. Which is made up of Steve Buscemi, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Dijom Hounsou. The acting is superb from Ewan McGregor and supporting cast but Scarlett Johansson like any female in a Michael Bay movie is here mainly to provide some T&A and some company for our main character. Which at times is depressing to see someone who has great talent used for a simple role such as this. However, the Island, is no doubt still an entertaining and great action movie for Sci-Fi fans.
