Reviews

chaython The plot twist was evident ever since the guy wanted to give him the implant. The acting was bad but the action was worth the watch. But if you didn't realize the twist within the first 10m then you a) are not very smart or b) don't watch many movies. Big Spoiler: I was hoping at the end it would of just left him in the hospital with the wife without cutting back to him; I like those open endings; where you're not sure if he went insane or if it was all a dream; this is probably the worst part of the movie; the movie feels it needs to explain everything; yet it tries to act like the explanations are unfounded; when they were very obvious.

SnoopyStyle In the near future, computer augmentations in humans are increasing. Grey Trace (Logan Marshall-Green) is a mechanic and a luddite who is being left behind unlike his wife Asha who works for an innovative tech company. He refurbishes a car for tech tycoon Eron Keen who reveals a new computer chip to them. After an awkward meeting, their computer-driven car sends them to the wrong neighborhood where they are attacked by a team of masked assassins. Grey wakes up as a quadriplegic and a widow. Eron offers to install his AI chip STEM to reconnect his spine and getting him to walk again.This is a nice sci-fi thriller. Logan is doing his Tom Hardy best. He's an one-man show. The sci-fi ideas are solid. If there is one flaw, it's that Eron is obviously the man who set them up and Grey should have figured it out sooner. I like the revenge porn aspect. The fight action is kinetic. There is a very good reveal at the end. I didn't hear anything about this movie and am pleasantly surprised by it.

jurassicprydberg I've never written a review but this movie warrants one. This movie is pretty amazing. Objectively it does have a few issues such as Stem deciding not to tell Grey about the off switch plot device in advance and not explaining how Stem was able to control Eron but subjectively I just loved this movie to death. The movie (much like its protagonist) is an old fashioned action film that was upgraded with some high-tech innards. The performances are all pretty great and they really did the best they could with the material they were given. Now onto the meat and potatoes of the movie; the action sequences in this movie are so well choreographed and the cinematography during these scenes is fantastic and they really wouldn't be the same if they had not been filmed the same way so major props to the filmmakers. Finally onto the plot; the movie's plot is actually really well done, I felt invested in Grey and some parts actually made me feel a little bit which is something most action movies really dont do. The twist at the end is also pretty great even though the reasoning behind the twist isnt really explained I'm willing to just gloss over that because the ending is just so good, it's very reminiscent of Black Mirror, especially the White Christmas episode. Overall freaking fantastic movie 10/10 I'm going to watch it again.
