Customer Reviews

Nothing new but lots of fun.

In a world of surrogates (high-performance machines controlled by people). Looks like a bad guy found a way to bump off surrogates and their controllers. Who is this perpetrator, and why is he dispatching certain surrogates? Agent Greer (Bruce Willis) and his FBI partner, Peters (Radha Mitchell), have to track down what appears to be a renegade until it looks like he is up against an internal cabal. Even though the director thinks that he made some sort of unique story or used unique methods of photography, such as Panavision lenses. I hate to tell him, but it has all been done before. After watching the coming attractions for this movie, we get the whole story before we start watching. Also, based on a graphic novel, we just about get the whole story ahead of the film. What makes the film is the action, and seeing how the novel will be adapted or ignored. Director Jonathan Mostow is an active person, so even though he claims that he is a character [person we know what he is]. I had fun with the story and think you will. Now you can go two ways from here. For the techno-thriller, watch “I, Robot” (2004). For the more human aspect of surrogates, watch “Sleep Dealer” (2008).
