Thanks for the reply. Hard to tell if it’s that without watching it :(

It’s been a long time, so my memory is very sketchy. The big plot twist in this movie is that the male protagonist, who has had a perfectly healthy upbringing and reasonably successful life, discovers that he is the result of a cloning experiment and that there are 6/7/8 (don’t remember the exact number) other clones just like him who were brought up in other families around the country. He finds out that all of them are criminals or at least violent people, even though he is not. The moral of the story is that even if your genes give you a strong predestination towards crime, a good and healthy upbringing can counteract this.
The movie is live-action and it is not overly scifi-themed (no fictional technology in the characters’ everyday lives); if it is set in the future, it’s only the near future, but I think it was set in the present. It does not deal with parallel universes, timelines or time travel; no mind swapping or mind control; no simulated realities or simulated brains/minds, manipulated memories or anything of that sort.
