Description
In the future people can travel quickly by exchanging bodies with a
person at the destination point. In the movie the main character
has his body stolen so he is now in the body of a clone. A woman he
believes can help him wants to have sex with him as the clone. She
also states that her friends have a bootleg mind transfer machine
and that she has had sex as a man before and wonders if he will
switch with her the next day at a party. She states that once he
tries being a woman he will regret being a man. No actual tg
transfer occurs but there are plenty of body swaps referred to in
the movie and the premise is there.
In this Canadian direct to cable sci-fi adventure, long distance
travel in the near future is often accomplished by sending the
mental essense of the traveler to his destination through phone
lines, there to be installed into another body (while the original
mind of this second person is transferred to the first body). The
hero, Toffler, starts out in his own form (Kim Coates), moves into
the "borrowed" body of Kyle MacLachlan to find that his own body
has been "hijacked" by an assassin, and then spends the majority of
the flick in an artificially cloned corpus that looks suspiciously
like Stephen Baldwin (the least offensive of the Baldwin Clan). A
lot of other swapped bodies are featured, though none seem to be
across gender lines (one female character does state that she knows
what it's like to be a man and later tells Toffler that if he ever
tried being a woman he would never be satisfied as a man again).
Not a bad movie, though more of an action/adventure type of an
effort than a pure body switch movie.
