FILM: Surrogates (dir: Jonathan Mostow, 2009)


"It's like being inside God's head."

Disappointing. This is a classic case of a movie that adds absolutely nothing to what has been seen in the trailer, from action beats to plot points. Sociologically and philosophically the premise has potential, but here the notion of living out one's life through a robotic surrogate is treated with the depth of a very shallow puddle. Bruce Willis reminds us that he can indeed do sublety well, but the whole film is decidedly underwhelming.
