I feel like this plot get recycled every few months or so, the old “Hooray! My missing child has returned- heeeeeyyyy… You’re not my kid! Who the f*ck are you?!?!” routine. (The CHANGELING tackled this subject recently.) But since this one stars AITH fav Famke Janssen (pictured right), and LOST cutie Emilie de Ravin (pictured below), I’ll give it little shout-out.

THE CHAMELEON, from director Jean Paul Salome, is a psychological thriller that revolves around the reunion of a young man (Marc-Andre Grondin) and his family after being positively identified in an unsolved missing-persons case. The reunion turns bittersweet when suspicions arise about whether he really is their son.
