Twilight Man is a very good film that has a good cast which includes Tim Matheson, Dean Stockwell, L. Scott Caldwell, Joel Polis, Yvette Nipar, Georgann Johnson, Katherine La Nasa, Leslie Neale, Zachary McLemore, Jim Grimshaw, Rick Warner, Michael Harding, Andrew Masset, Desiree Marie Velez, Amy Parrish, Keith Flippen, and Jeffrey Pillars. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Matheson and Stockwell are really excellent in this film. I thought that they performed good. The thrills is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is very good by Gary Chang and good directing by Craig R. Baxley. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Tim Matheson, Dean Stockwell, L. Scott Caldwell, Joel Polis, Yvette Nipar, Georgann Johnson, Katherine La Nasa, Leslie Neale, the rest of the cast in the film, Thrillers, Mysrery, Dramas, and interesting Action films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!

Admittedly, these comments are being submitted well after this movie was made and subsequently, I have had an opportunity to catch up on some of the technology alluded to in this film. However, at the time of its production, I had no idea that people could "steal" your identity, to say nothing of the havoc and terror which could be perpetrated against an innocent victim. Not being familiar with computers and the possibility and realization of "hackers" being out there, so this film was an eye-opener and a wakeup call for me. (And NO, I had not seen "The Net" prior to seeing The Twilight Man, so there was not point of reference or comparison for me, as another person commented upon.I thought Tim Matheson was outstanding showing both a vulnerability at being a victim and as an extremely determined individual, digging deeply into his unknown past to identify and track the person responsible for destroying his life.The Lieutenant was extremely good - not giving away her suspicions as to Jordan Coopers guilt or innocence, and, while checking out leads as they came in, not jumping the gun; rather waiting for more evidence as to not only the suspect, but as to whether the acts were even committed by another person as alleged by Mr. Cooper.Though several years have passed since the film was made, the twists, turns and surprises still make it a strong film and one of my favorites.

This movie is well-edited, with plenty of atmosphere and great camera shots; unfortunately, you could drive a truck through the loopholes in the script. My 11 yr. old spotted a glaring inconsistency right away...which tells you something. The female lead lets the bad guy into her apartment; "Why is she doing that?!" my kid demands. "Because she doesn't know what he looks like," I respond (being the non-observant, gullible mom that I am). "Yes, she does! He was the Cable Guy!" So I'm left realizing that I would probably let the bad guy in, too. Sigh. I stayed with this movie until the end, and kinda enjoyed it. But I wouldn't watch it again. Not unless I had my kid around to save me from bad plot devices.

Farfetched tale of a computer geek who uses an elaborate online system to take over another man's entire history. He then frames the man for a pair of crimes that he had no knowledge of which leads to a big manhunt and, of course, the big showdown in the end. Nothing new, but still an enjoyable film.
