FBI agents Greer (Bruce Willis) and Peters (Radha Mitchell) investigate the mysterious murder of a university student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase flawless robotic versions of themselves - fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles - enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who's real and who can you trust?

I got very bored... not my idea of entertaining.

It was an interesting glimpse at the point in the future where humans will have robot surrogates to do the work. It would be interesting to see how humans coped in such a society. The perfect surrogates compared to the human imperfection was the main idea played with here. Love was being lost, and replaced with self.
Script was a little thin towards the last third, but could have really been a great film if not padded with action rather than plot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I went in with very low expectations and came out being glad i took the time to watch it. Some excellent effects, especially with the 'surrogates'. A simple enough plot to follow, fast paced, decent action sequences. If Minority Report/I, Robot are your cup of tea, this should be too.

Total nonsense. This movie apperas to have been written by a 16yo. The most interesting thing about this movie is how and why it got made in the first place.
