4.5 OUT OF 5 STARS FOR THE REPLACEMENT FROM PAT MCDONALD

Film critic Patrick McDonald reviewed THE REPLACEMENT following its World Premiere at the 53rd Chicago International Film Festival...

"Mike McNamara, a veteran Chicago actor, produces the energy to convincingly portray different sides of the same physical form. His talent is apparent as the multiple characters are so sharply separate from each other that even though they of course look alike, they each have a distinct persona. From the smarmy bartender, to the confused state of a sanitary engineer, and finally to unctuous evil of a man in power, McNamara is able to produce all the emotions and characteristics necessary... 

...The atmosphere created by producer Naz Khan and director Sean Miller is Blade Runner-esque in its dread, and McNamara is a revelation as he portrays his multiple selves."
