...intriguing premise of the ethical and practical debate surrounding cloning is abandoned early in the film in favor of amateur suspense sequences culminating more times than not with the requisite bloodied hand reaching out toward the audience and ripping screams from the terrified child on screen.

Without Harvard or MIT, Cambridge basically is Everett or Somerville. It’s a great national ornament and it should be protected...
