Simply Perfect

Crappy film

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Spectacular! This turned out to be even better than the trailer made it look. Love new concepts that I haven't seen done before with the storyline. A definite must-watch!

When I saw this listed as horror and read the description I assumed this film was going to be about technology gaining more and more influence on society and it's unsettling effects on regular citizens but the movie depicts a different story with some aspects of what I expected to see. While the plot is centered in the near future the environment barely looks different aside from few futuristic cars and drones patrolling the city which is something that I have no problem with since the movie's plot isn't about depicting some global event. Our main character, Grey, is ambushed, has his wife killed and is left paralyzed from neck down by the weapon used on him by the assailants. However, a man he works for, who is a director of a leading tech company offers him a chance to regain mobility with a newly developed cutting-edge chip. The experiment turns out to be a massive success enabling Grey to move his body again, but the implanted chip, Stem turns out to be much more than Grey bargained for which sets up the revenge plot for the film.The idea while not entirely original, is very well executed. With Stem's charismatic yet stoic personality and the lead actor's convincing performance which makes it quite believable that the character's body is being controlled by a foreign entity during the action scenes which are very well choreographed for this movie's budget which isn't of MCU's magnitude for sure. The action scenes were actually quite unique, making it look like that Grey's body is using Stem's precise calculation instead of a martial art to fight which is quite neat. While the movie's acting is pretty decent with every actor making the most of what their given, barely anyone is flashed out aside from the main cast. The spotlight is 95% on Grey which is not a negative trait, but would have been better if we could have seen a little more of his relationship with his wife and more development with the villains.One thing I genuinely dislike about this film is the ever annoying "Stubborn female detective who originally came to help the main character but instead ends up trying to arrest him for vigilantism of taking down criminals SHE was supposed to find." trope which I admit I detest. There's this guy who is eliminating dangerous criminals, making the environment safer and yet HE is the main target for your investigation? that in my opinion is very contradictory in every film this trope is used in. But I'm not gonna get into dissecting that cliche. The "main" villain of this film, Mercenary named Fisk seemed interesting enough but barely had any screen time aside from a fight scene in which he somehow outperforms a supreme AI with basic Cyborg modifications and experience to the point where even Stem pleads to Grey to think of something, it was interesting but wasn't explained how. One thing I also enjoyed was the main character's cocky attitude which did seem unnatural given what Grey has been through, but enjoyable non the less. Now what sealed the deal for me was the twist. Because maybe I didn't bother analyzing this film too thoroughly but I definitely did not see it coming. That and the ending really came as a pleasant surprise which brought everything to full circle for me. Now the movie is not a masterpiece and might not be for everyone, but I suggest you give it a shot, you might like it or end up disappointed. See for yourself.

I didn't know what to really expect but I was absolutely impressed. A movie set in the future in which technology and automation are taking over, one man who doesn't share the same values of technology as everyone elsefinds himself being forced to use to upgrade his quality of life. This film left me in awe at the end. Thrilling and non stop pulsating tension and action.

I can't understand why some people have been so negative. My sister and I settled down with no expectations and loved it, especially playing guess who did what. It's a clever ideas sci-fi flick, and not a million miles away from where we seem to be heading. And so good not to see the same Hollywood actors again.
