This intriguing and very dark sci-fi thriller from Brandon Cronenberg is very cyberpunk in its conceit of jacking other people's minds in order to carry out assassinations, one of which goes horribly wrong for the assassin and the victim. In spite of the heavy sci-fi element, the focus is very much on the two central characters and what they go through, strongly played by Andrea Riseborough and Christopher Abbott. Visually interesting, narratively twisty and directed with precision, Possessor is a very well-made, violent and unsettling movie that holds interest right to the end.
