A computer scientist and drone pilot is put on a hit list due to his religious beliefs. He and his sister are pursued by super soldiers, called Erasers, to capture them dead or alive. In the midst of a terrorist-induced crisis the United States has declared martial law. Privatized defense forces and a state-of-the-art drone patrol system now monitor citizens and locate any new terrorist activities. Patterson Endcott, a computer scientist and drone pilot, is put on a hit list due to his religious beliefs and increasing doubt in the morality of his job. He and his sister, Samantha Endcott, are forced to find a place of safety beyond the watchful eyes of the surveillance drones. Considered a top level security threat by the government, the two are pursued by super soldiers, called Erasers, to capture them dead or alive. Well I was disappointed that there is no review for this wonderful film, so I took it on myself to write one. I'm going to mention some of the (very relevant and current) themes that I think are going on in this film, so that I help you judge whether it's worth your time or not:<br/><br/><ul><li>Enforcer turned rebel (akin to the film/book Cloud Atlas) </li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Modern warfare tech: mass government surveillance, drones, exoskeletons, mass incarceration, corporate mercenaries </li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Notion of terrorism expanded to include potentially everyone </li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Manhunt of rebels in the woods</li></ul><br/><br/>Graphics, sound, action, acting and dialogue, the film is above average, so I think the deciding factor for whether you'll like it or not is whether you enjoy the above themes. May contain spoilers The overall idea had merit the script jumped around abysmally. Continuity or what passed for it was a complete joke.<br/><br/>You have an squad of elite "Erasers" who start off able to shoot a feather off a flying finch at 2km but by the halfway mark none could shoot the broadside of a barn even if they had been shackled to the wall. I was amazed that none of the Erasers managed to shoot themselves in their own face they had become that incompetent.<br/><br/>If they were the elite then they would have gunned down the resistance/terrorists/bible bashers at range before they would have known that they were under attack.<br/><br/>Why were the only long range drones used to attack cities but could not be used to hunt down the resistance? The acting was so wooden it was a major fire hazard.<br/><br/>I want my life back that I spent watching this failure
Rz-9 is one of my favorite science fiction movies. I was so thrilled to see the action scenes in this film and they have done a great job on the action sequences. driver unavailable They are really too good. Go and watch it.
