"Altered" isn't your typical sci fi action thriller. The idea of a less than heroic protagonist, taking on a dystopian eugenics based state, is a little different. The concept "sort of" works but would have been better with a more focused script, combined with some extra polish, particularity in the rather clumsy, action scenes. That said, the main character and his adopted daughter, are inherently likeable, the back story is at least somewhat original and the dystopian setting is well crafted. In summary, "Altered" is different in a largely positive way. Its just a shame more time and money, wasn't expended, giving this film the improvements it needs. Nonetheless, still worth a look.
