Ahhh, the future. Where anything is possible, including having artificial intelligence take over you body to become a bad ass street fighter. No, this wasn't the Matrix, this was a whole new take on the futuristic computerized brain implant, and it was awesome. In short, the story unfolds like this: Grey, a bit of a technophobe who loves the classics and old school type possessions, becomes paralyzed due to a car accident. He is then given an experimental implant called "Stem" to take over the functions of his body and help him become mobile again. His thirst for revenge due to an incident that I wont spoil here gives Stem the ability to help him become an ass-kicking machine. The movie was much better than expected with a good plot, great acting, and fun story line. Grey, played by Logan Marshall-Green, who is a bit of the poor mans Tom Hardy, is good in everything he does. He was a breath of fresh air in this flick and was cast perfectly. There are a few obvious twists and some cheese but overall, great movie worth watching. Give this one a shot!
FYI: Somewhat hidden, you can see the puppet from Saw painted on the wall. Same director.
