The concept of the movie is fascinating. It illustrates the lives of people with robots as their surrogates. In a not so distant future, human used mind control robots to go on with their daily lives while they are sitting in a remote control chair at home. The robot or the surrogate goes to work, shop at malls, goes to school and everything that humans normally do. Because of the surrogates, crime are minimal until one day, a couple is gunned down in an alley and frying the brains of their users back at home. One of the victims is the son of the inventor of surrogates who is out of the company he founded. The FBI investigator named Greer hunts for the killer and led him to the edge of an anti-surrogates society.
It is difficult to identify the user of each surrogate for one can control several surrogates. At the end of the movie, Greer found out that the person behind all the killings is Canter, the inventor of surrogates. The movie was interesting but there are some blunt scenes. The movie itself, make us realize the effect of relying too much on technology specifically on robots. There is always a possibility that technology will over power humans if we keep on relying on them that will all make us worthless.
