Cuba Gooding Jr stars in this sci-fi flick where he is involved in a life threatening car wreck and doctors/scientists implant a tech device in his brain which causes him to be on the run from people who want him dead. This is a middle of the road thriller, but there were elements to it that were pretty fun which elevated it a bit. Val Kilmer, Michael Ironside and Tatiana Maslany costar.

The idea of a chip planted in his head after an accident was okay. Main character worried about becoming a murderer while gunning down hordes of security guards. Guards armed with automatic weapons can not hit him while he drops armored people with a single shot each. Lets go all the main villains but one. Apparently genius computer hackers can access all devices while traveling in an old van down streets because he is a genius. Which they keep mentioning thru out the movie.

A fairly outlandish plot for an advertising based future dystopia, that's not that well done either. Some of the sets look shabby, the action and acting are fairly weak, Val Kilmer has a terrible hair style (not the one depicted in the poster) and there's some poor moments such as being told Cuba Gooding Jr wants to forget about his time in the army yet he has a framed photo of himself in uniform on the wall!!!
