Plot[edit]
When agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration are ambushed during a raid, Agent Matt Gianni suspects a leak, and asks his boss Stuart Langston, to enlist an outside agent. Langston brings in Willie Serling, who is a master of disguises, and whose family was killed by Alberto Cortese, a drug smuggler. Langston sends Serling to jail undercover, to investigate a drug operation, possibly run by Cortese.[1]
While in jail, Serling disguises himself, as a computer expert, and recovers critical bank records. Gianni frees him from jail and sends him to a bank, to pose an auditor, and follow up on the records. Serling investigates bank executive, Jill Hallmann, but begins dating her. He finds out that another executive, Morris Steinfeld, is the one involved in criminal activity.
Steinfeld finds out that he is being investigated, and reports to bank president, Jason Ainsley, who informs Cortese of the investigation. Cortese kills Ainsley, and also gets Steinfeld killed. Serling, who is targeted next, disguises himself as a hobo, and is able to shoot Cortese first, though he does not kill him.[1]
Serling's behaviour, after the events, becomes bizarre, and he ignores Gianni's imploring to quit. Gianni arrests at the prison, and the bank, and the perpetrators involved with the drug operation. Meanwhile, Serling transfers Cortese's money from an offshore account. He tells Hallmann his real identity, and leaves her. When Cortese attempts to come after Hallmann, Serling shows up, and kills Cortese.[1]

Reception[edit]
The Roanoke Times reviewed the film, 'The.. plot is standard movie thriller stuff — a little slow and, at the end, cliched — but LaPaglia's performance overcomes the flaws.'[2]
TV Guide reported, 'Chameleon has commendable ambitions to rise above the usual straight to video level, but is seriously undermined by sluggish pacing and gross overlength.. (the film) is a surprisingly low key, talky thriller that remains consistently watchable, but doesn't really explore its intriguing premise involving disguise, identity, and personality transference.'[1][3]DVD & Video Guide 2005 said, 'LaPaglia has a field day in the central role, but the film's plot is just a bit too derivative.'[4] Vuescan 9 6 33 serial number.
Psychotherapists on Film noted how the film utilizes a psychiatrist as a character; Willie Serling's boss asks a psychiatrist about Serling's response to his family being killed. The authors write, 'She says Serling has an 'as if' personality brought on by his trauma, and if he is left in the field he could lose whatever personality he still has. She is right, but a new love saves him.'[5]

It can be found at elevations between 20 and 571 m (66 and 1,873 ft) above mean sea level (AMSL), and over an area of 147,782 square kilometres (57,059 square miles).[3] Details about the true population of B. brygooi are unknown, although it is known to be widespread.[3] It is found in many protected parks/areas/nature reserves, and is also protected under the Madagascar laws.[3]

Taxonomy[edit]
This species was initially described by Raxworthy and Nussbaum in 1995 under the name of Brookesia brygooi. The same scientific name was later used by Nečas in 1999, and, most recently by Townsend et al. in 2009.[2] According to the ITIS, the taxonomic status of B. brygooi is valid.[5] It is commonly known as the leaf chameleon.[6]
