View all categoriesOur take
A flamboyant detective probes a ritual murder in a desert future ruled by a sentient AI that feeds people and punishes dissent. Exploding heads, gouged eyes, public executions and other body-horror gore sit with graphic nudity and sexual content, and only brief strong swearing. A young child lives inside this plugged-in world. Fine with a parent from 16. Younger teens who dislike graphic gore or nudity should skip it.
Uplifting themes
The film asks what humans lose when an AI owns every thought and choice A parent tries to shield a child from forced executions, but most adults stay complicit
Story (may spoil tone)
Set in a near future society ruled by sentient A.I., a private eye investigates a murder case only to discover a rebel group capable of undermining the digital overlord. As the detective's identity slowly unravels, his world enters a state of hypnotic meltdown.
