Could be better

Andrew Niccol isn't new to this kind of movies. S1m0ne, Gattaca, In Time... all these speak for itself. His sci-fi ideas, his dystopic (and yet incredibly optimistic) visions of the future are insanely unique. However, translating those ideas to film doesn't always work. This movie tries to copy Ghost in the Shell anime and Black Mirror plots, however it just ends up flat. It came as a surprise for this to be a slow-paced and nicely shot sci-fi thriller, but it's still disappointing how with shots and settings as good as the ones in this (yes, cinematography done good!)- it is still kind of bland. Watchable yet skippable- it was alright, at least. The last line (or close to last line) is perfect though- "It's not that I have something to hide. It's that I have nothing I want you to see". And I love Amanda Seyfried, here!
