Surrogates

Bruce Willis stars as Tom Greer, an FBI worker in a world where people are linked to robots safely from their home while the robots do all the living. He accepts it, but secretly hates it. No worry about dying while your surrogate is out there. However, its discovered there is a weapon that can kill the person running the surrogate. Once discovered, Tom Greer realizes everyone is acting funny. Like they know something and are covering it up. Once Tom's surrogate is destroyed, he has to solve the mystery with his own human body. Dangerous.

This movie was predictable from start to finish. The action scenes were boring and old. I didn't learn or see anything I haven't in other sci-fi movies. Bruce Willis did a great acting job. However, the rest of the cast, even James Cromwell, didn't deliver. Ving Rhames's character was shallow and terribly developed.

Also, the movie was under an hour and a half. For a movie they promoted so much, it was too short-lived. It also had no lasting effect on me. Just a high-budget mess.

So unless you are a die hard Willis fan (pun intended), you'd be better off holding out and spending your money on a good October movie.

I rate this movie 5.4 out of 10.
