Surrogates

PG-13
Starring: Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell
1 Hour & 29 Minutes

This movie is based on the novel by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele.
Five minutes into this movie I knew it was going to be a major disappointment. I was hoping for an exciting thriller with twists and turns, and it just did not deliver.
People own their own personal "Surrogates" to take over for them and live their lives for them. The "real" person spends their time in a special chair/bed device which makes them capable of experiencing everything their surrogate experiences. They have the same feelings and emotions and they have total control of their Surrogate. The Surrogate is designed to keep the "real" person safe and out of harms way. They design their own Surrogates. In looks, the Surrogates are absolutely perfect. Bruce Willis' Surrogate sports a blond wig which looks ridiculous on him.
Someone has invented a special gun which can shoot the Surrogate and actually kill the real person. The storyline follows Bruce Willis' quest to find out who invented the gun and stop them. Willis plays FBI Agent Thomas Greer. His Surrogate is attacked by humans who are fed up with technology. They shoot him, stab him, beat him up and set him on fire. The real Agent Greer takes over the case and it leads him to a very sick evil man who is causing all the trouble. There is also a character called "the prophet" played by Ving Rhames who rules over the robot-free people. His character was unbelievable and ends up being a robot himself. It is all just too much and to me was completely ridiculous. I would not waste the price of a movie ticket on this movie.
Surrogates is a Sci Fi Action thriller which contains: violence, language, sexuality and a drug-scene.
