tomorrow... There is a new technology to exchange consciousness between two bodies. XChange allows people to travel great distances by doing a mind transfer. Fisk (Kyle MacLachlan) is a terrorist using guided missiles on targeted assassinations. Toffler (Kim Coates) is a member of the entitled corporate class. He reluctantly uses XChange to travel from New York to San Francisco. Unbeknowst to him, the other side is Fisk. Upon returning to New York, he is detained to keep the incident secret. He manages to escape and download his mind into a temporary clone (Stephen Baldwin). He gets help from anti-XChange journalist Madeleine Renard (Pascale Bussières) to track down his body before the clone terminates.
This is a Canadian sci-fi. The idea seems compelling at first but it doesn't make a second pass at the logic test. The STD alone is enough to end the system. Transferring into the Baldwin clones would make more sense. I've seen that movie, too. A lot of this are old sci-fi tropes. The production is lower budget. The special effects are second tier. The most troubling is that the three leads play the same guy at one point or another. I don't see Kim Coates, Kyle MacLachlan, and Stephen Baldwin playing the same Toffler. It may be asking too much for Baldwin to do good acting. I simply don't buy they are the same character. This lesser sci-fi tries a couple of interesting ideas but it doesn't completely succeed.
