This film really satisfied my craving for an original thriller, despite the fact that I spent most of it thinking about how Logan Marshall-Green looks like a budget Tom Hardy.
He plays a guy whose wife is killed during a violent mugging that also leaves him paralyzed in the aftermath. When a billionaire approaches him with an Artificial Intelligence solution that would “upgrade” his body, he has a chance to take vengeance.
This is Robocop meets Ex Machina meets Blade Runner. It’s original, low-budget without feeling low-budget, and honestly just so thrilling. It gives the genre of sci-fi a much needed upgrade.
"The fight sequences are refreshingly odd in their conception, with Grey an awkward puppet to his own kickass moves."
— Anton Bitel
"A great and grimy little screw-turner of sci-fi schlock, the kind that they truly don't make anymore, the kind that would make Carpenter and Cameron proud."
— Emily Yoshida
A brutal mugging leaves Grey Trace paralyzed in the hospital and his beloved wife dead. A billionaire inventor soon offers Trace a cure — an artificial intelligence implant called STEM that will enhance his body. Now able to walk, Grey finds that he also has superhuman strength and agility — skills he uses to seek revenge against the thugs who destroyed his life.
Amazing, loved this movie ✨
Yes! A very good movie. When I first saw the hero, I was also wondering the same thing – How the hell did I not know Tom Hardy was in this movie? ????
Showed this as a sort of relief film during a horror movie marathon once and it absolutely (phrasing) killed! There are far too few movies like this one.
Fantastic movie, at last a movie with an original idea.
