	Media	Author	Review
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"The most interesting questions 'Copycat' raises have little to do with this unfortunate script or its predictable ending"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"'Copycat' doesn't have the dark tones of "Seven," or that movie's distinctive look. But in its own way, it is as effective (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Time Out	"Amiel keeps the tension high, but the film's imagination is circumscribed by the clichés of the genre (...) It leaves a nasty taste in the mouth."
		Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"The world needs another serial-killer thriller like Dolly Parton needs breast implants. And that's bad news for 'Copycat,' a perversely entertaining variation on the overworked genre"
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"A very good thriller"
