In Reply to: He needed exactly 100, for each of his final 100 shows posted by Jazz Inmate on September 12, 2007 at 10:22:18:
If I expected movies to be limited by what is considered possible I probably wouldn't go nearly as often.
I think your argument falls down when Algier first tests his machine and then shoots the clone that is created. At that point, he would have been convinced that it was indeed a cloning machine (having spent large sums of money), and would not have needed to locate a body double to show himself that the machine worked.
Michael Caine's voiceover could have been directed at the crowd (and jury), who believed that there was only one Algier.
I wish that the movie would have explored the moral dilemma created by the machine. It's not really clear to me which Algier is the clone and which is the original each time he uses the machine, or how much of his memories get transferred to the clone. Was he effectively committing suicide each night, or murder?
