Surrogates.
Not going to write a full review. Interesting premise - in a futuristic world people stay shut in their homes and conduct their lives through surrogates, robots which are controlled by their thought processes and which transmit sense data back to their controller. Crime and injury drop massively - but then someone starts using a new weapon on surrogates that kills not only the surrogate but also its controller. This is one of those 1hr 27min quickies timed to turn over as many multiplex screenings as possible, and it shows. The interesting ideas in the premise are given little attention and it becomes a pretty pedestrian action thriller.
