Surrogates (2009, USA) C-89m. SCOPE *** D: Jonathan Mostow. Starring Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, Boris Kodjoe, James Francis Ginty, James Cromwell, Ving Rhames. Interesting science-fiction thriller that utilizes themes from sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick (BLADE RUNNER, TOTAL RECALL). In the not-so distant future most people make use of so-called Surrogates, incredibly human-like androids that can be remote-controlled from the users' homes. They see, hear and feel everything that their surrogates do. Willis is a cop who investigates a possible murder - the first in years - and interviews Crimwell, the renegade inventor of the surrogates. Not a world-beater, but entertaining, exciting and fun to watch. Based on a graphic novel by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele.
