| Plot: | In the not too distant future, technology allows humans to live their lives through robots they call surrogates. Humans have in effect cocooned themselves in their homes, never venturing outside. Rather, they explore life through their surrogates who may or may not resemble them. Tom Greer and his partner Peters are FBI agents assigned to investigate the destruction of two surrogates that has also caused the unthinkable: the human hosts were also killed. The use of surrogates is not universally endorsed with some humans living in technology and machine-free zones. Led by a man called The Prophet, the fear is that they have put their hands on a weapon that would fundamentally change human society. Greer believes they have also put their hands on a weapon that could fundamentally change society, though he begins to wonder if that might be a good thing. |

Goofs

Continuity: When Tom Greer is talking to Lionel Canter's young man surrogate in the back of the limo, the surrogate's hair changes dramatically within seconds. Tom Greer looks away for a second and when he looks back the surrogate's hair changes from in place and shorter to longer, shaggy and in his eyes. BOOM: Clearly visible in one of the office scenes. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When Greer goes to confront the real Lionel Canter he is stopped by one of the bodyguards in the lobby. As the bodyguard twists Greer's arm and Greer pulls his revolver to shoot him in the stomach you can clearly see the gun firing without Greer pulling the trigger, as indicated by the hammer of the revolver staying motionless. FAIR: When the FBI agents investigate the damaged army surrogates, they visit with Colonel Brendon, who is seen wearing a Ranger tab on the right shoulder of his Class A uniform. Special skill qualification tabs are worn on the left shoulder only, not the right. However, the movie is set in the future when that may have changed. FAIR: When a young man is killed at UC San Diego, his body is loaded into an ambulance. By California state law, it is Coroner's Office vehicles, not ambulances, who carry corpses. However, the movie is set in the future when that may have changed. GEOG: When Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell's characters look at the destroyed surrogates, the cop tells them they should go talk to the owners. The next shot is an over head of the Zakim Bridge, but the angle shows the TD Bank Garden on the right side implying they are headed south on the bridge. The Zakim is located north of Fort Point Channel, thus, you wouldn't ever travel southbound if you're leaving Fort Point Channel. The Channel is a body of water that borders South Boston. Continuity: The car which Peters crashed and is used by Greer to chase her, has no visible damage in 2 of the following scenes. One of these scenes is after Greer crashes into the store. The FBI agent opens the driver's door and we briefly see some cracks in the passenger window, no other damage to that door. Revealing mistakes: Maggie's hands in the final sequence read too young. They are the hands of a younger woman. Continuity: After Greer gets beaten up up by the Prophet's guards, his scars keep moving and changing severity for the rest of the movie. Continuity: In the ending scene when Bruce Willis' character is holding his wife in his arms, the closeup scene shows his right arm in her hair and his other arm around her back. In the very next shot as the camera backs up, the hands are switched. |
Quotes
|
[last lines] Male Newscaster: Still no official word on when, or if, surrogate services can be restored. It appears, at least for now that we are on our own. Female Counsel: Agent Greer, we're not doctors. Tom Greer: Honey, I don't know what you are. I mean, for all I know, you could be some big, fat dude sitting in his stim chair with his dick hanging out. [first lines] The Prophet: Look at yourselves. Unplug from your chairs, get up and look in the mirror. What you see is how God made you. We're not meant to experience the world through a machine. Big Woman: [aiming her shotgun] You're an abomination. Older Canter: Surrogacy is a perversion. It's an addiction. And you have to kill the addict to kill the addiction. Bobby: We just saved about a billion lives there. |
