Bruce Willis' latest actioneer sees him in a world where most people stay at home while their "surrogate" goes out into the world and people live their lives through them.
A cosy arrangement as the surrogate is a more aesthetically- pleasing version of the real thing.There are some very basic flaws in the whole premise but this is an interesting interpretation of the whole avatar concept.
Bruce is an FBI agent who is suitably heroic in both his robot form and in real life when he ventures out into the outside world for the first time in eight years.There is a touching subplot between Bruce and his wife who is played by Rosamund Pike.
Plenty of special effects and this would not be a Bruce Willis film if he does not get battered and bruised on the way to his eventual triumph - and so it is the case here.This will do to pass the time until the next Die Hard film,if he decides to make one.He does like to make a variety of films but his most successful ones are those when he carries a gun or wears a badge and so it is the case here.
Perfectly enjoyable.6/10
