Befriended by a doctor on the forefront of genetic research (Robert DeNiro), they are offered a chance to reverse the rules of nature and clone their son. The experiment appears successful under the doctor'swatchful eye, and Adam grows into a healthy, happy, young boy... until his Eighth birthday. Then the night terrors and frightening flashbacks are only the beginning. Reaching the age at which the original Adam died, the new Adam begins to change, and a new sinister personality emerges.

Um thriller desastrosamente confuso, que falha em termos emocionais, de credibilidade e de tema. Os realizadores parecem tê-lo filmado de forma improvisada, não com baseado num argumento, mas sim numa proposição de tema curta de uma página. Talvez a edição final tenha causado danos suficientes. A propósito, há quatro finais alternativos no DVD e é óbvio, no comentário do realizador e do argumentista, que eles próprios não sabem porque os filmaram e qual deles teria sido o melhor para o filme.

This project would have benefited from a better and more experienced director – which Nick Hamm definitely is not, his direction is purely technical. From the beginning up to about two thirds through, practically nothing much happens in the film, and all the explanations, including the twist, are rushed at us in the final few minutes, and the film ends surprisingly early.

Godsend is an American production that suffers from having a very bad screenplay, which at first manages to engage the viewer, as there is something mysterious about it. Then it unravels more and more, and you start wondering why actors who are certainly not bad (Kinnear, De Niro) gave the nod to this terrible movie that only makes sense on the surface.
