Surrogates (2009)



In a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others' surrogates.

Fairly entertaining sci-fi tale with an amusing premise (war is fought by surrogate soldiers while the real ones rest in a building full of cots) doesn't quite live up to its existentialist implications.

Maltin***: "Smart science-fiction tale...Slick entertainment has some provocative ideas behind it."
