Chameleon (1998)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It is a performances centric movie

Better Late Then Never

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Another late night bad movie I happened to watch without intention=) I laughed out loud several times because it was so incredibly ridiculous. First I couldn't put my finger on why.The acting?Okay,it wasn't good,it was like the actors read their lines from a piece of paper.But okay for a B-movie. The story?Yeah,that must be part of it.The story is like a concoct of The Matrix,Terminator and Blade Runner topped up with some William Gibson,all gone bad.And all poorly done.Why the flickering green numbers and Japanese letters in front of people's faces for no obvious reason?Because it looks futuristic and "cool",and to give it some Blade Runner vibes?And headsets won't save a character's credibility either,PLEASE only put headsets on a character when motivated by the circumstances!!It will look really,really stupid otherwise. When Kam is presented as genetically engineered with falcon,chameleon and cougar genes I couldn't keep myself from laughing out loud. And what about the rubber suits,black leather and shades?To make Kam look like a sexy Molly Millions?Come ON!This movie makes me wonder why some scripts are picked up at all.It's obviously low-budget,and even if some visual effects are okay(it's hilariously funny/ridiculous to watch Kam blend into the background due to her chameleon genes,but the visual effect in itself is decently done),the story is crap,much like a really bad and cheap video game. Blade Runner is a classic,Ridley Scott knows how to direct a sci-fi story with nerve,darkness and atmosphere.Stuart Cooper obviously don't. If you have seen Blade Runner before,see it again instead of wasting time on Chameleon.Or read a Gibson novel.

This is one of those movies that you would slate if you paid money to see it on the big screen...but as a made-for-TV film, it ain't half bad. Bobbie Phillips is gorgeous and has a real presence. She deserves to go on to bigger and better things. The film itself is nothing original and attempts to be all things to all viewers...part action, part drama, with a touch of sex thrown in for good measure. I'd give it a go, if you're in the mood for nothing substantial. 6 or 7 out of 10, in my opinion.

Bobbie Phillips made the day for this movie. She portrayed smart, strong, sexy Kam projecting her quite confidence and inner conflicts very well. If you like the genre of Wonder Woman, Xena, or Supergirl, then you'll like this movie.Unfortunately, Kam's special abilities, the anchor of the movie's plot, were seldom exploited in the storyline. Bobbie Phillips had only a few chances to show off Kam's special abilities, but when she did have a chance, she was flawless.There is talk of UPN making Chameleon into a series. It would be a smart move. Perhaps people are ready to see women in tough action roles without having to make appalingly stupid VIP and Cleopatra 2525 cheesecake type shows.

"Chameleon" features excellent acting by Bobbie (Dr. Bug Lady from the X-Files) Phillips whose buff muscle-play reinforces her role as a genetically engineered human. The young actor who portrays Gan, the kid, also displays an accomplished flair for drama--very rare. The effects including a cool skin camouflage are used judiciously and successfully. The intelligent script relies heavily on the characters--which is always a good thing in my book. I get the feeling UPN was considering this movie as a pilot. It's a shame they didn't run with it.
