About
You may enjoy this if you like scrappy sci‑fi action about control and blurred reality, with a video-game vibe and a few standout set pieces; Not for you if graphic violence, school-shooting content, or rough acting and dialogue are dealbreakers.
Pros: clever game-meets-reality hook; some fun action moments; occasionally thought-provoking | Cons: uneven acting; messy, confusing plot; clunky dialogue
