Watch it tonight if you want slick, inventive action with a genuinely fresh sci-fi premise—the AI-body-horror angle elevates what could've been a generic revenge thriller into something wickedly fun and visually creative. Director Leigh Whannell knows how to build tension and deliver kinetic fight choreography, making this a solid choice for an action night that won't insult your intelligence.

A billionaire inventor soon offers Trace a cure — an artificial intelligence implant called STEM that will enhance his body. Now able to walk, Grey finds that he also has superhuman strength and agility — skills he uses to seek revenge against the thugs who destroyed his life.
