An anti-robot cop investigates the death of the father of contemporary artificial intelligence-enabled robots.

A great movie through and through. Highly recommended and a welcome addition to my science fiction movie catalog.

Something something Hungary something mole.

An incredibly slow and boring movie.

A man is kidnapped and held for reasons he’s never told, only to be let out to be confused alongside this movie’s viewers.

I want to like this, I really do, but it makes no damned sense.

Something something narration and murder-mystery.

Great acting, but not a very good story or presentation.. I just didn’t like it. I only saw this for Michelle Monaghan, and it was worth it.
