The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This movie is quite predictable in few places but the rest is satisfactory. It gets interesting as the story unfolds. All actors did a great job.

In the futuristic city of Leland Park (filmed in Australia), Grey Trace has an automobile accident that was staged and leaves him as a paraplegic. His tech friend (Harrison Gilbertson) implants a computer chip in his neck that allows him to move, but the computer has some interesting side effects (upgrades) and helps him solve the crime and enact revenge. We get a glance at his wife's birth date as 1/13/08. She is thirty-ish so you have an idea of when the film takes place. It is science fiction-action complete with a car chase. The camera cuts away at the graphic scenes but shows the results. Of course, there is a lack of characters, so the mystery aspect is not so much of a mystery. The voice of stem and his control was done in an entertaining fashion. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

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.
