Surrogates (2009)

Plot?

It is the future and humans go about their daily lives safely through humanoids called surrogates. Someone starts killing surrogates and the operators (actual humans). A cop investigates this issue risking his real and surrogate's life leading to repercussions of a global scale

The good:

• The concept as such is cool, where humans aren't busting their rears to make ends meet. They are safely nestled in their house, insulated from pain and going about their lives through their surrogates
• Set in the future, the setting and gadgets are all cool
• The film moves at a good pace, a whodunnit initially, settling into a science-fiction-with-lesson-for-humans-at-end mould
• Bruce Willis keeps rocking, no matter what kind of role he's playing

The bad:

• Though things look promising, the film doesn't raise it's bar above an average action flick packaged as a science-fiction film

My Say:

If you are looking for entertainment alone, this is a good choice. For people looking at intellectual mumbo-jumbo and mind-screwing concepts, please try something else. All in all, a good timepass movie.
