It started super unique and psychological but once it lost its ambiguity it became like a super generic action flick which makes the second half way less interesting compared to what it could’ve been like I was genuinely prepared to give this 4 stars so I think it should’ve been more concept driven instead of action driven but nonetheless this was a good watch Arnie was very entertaining in the lead role and it has some great ideas

Felt like an unintentional satire of a sci-fi movie
