This is a tale about a quadriplegic in the "near" future getting an experimental computer chip implant to restore the full use of his body. You just know something's bound to go wrong, else where's the fun?

There are some good trailers at IMDb, where it currently carries a 7.6-star rating: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6499752/?ref_=nv_sr_1 But you may have to "prove" you're at least 18 to watch all of them.

The premise seems like a tale we've all seen before, and yet they managed to put a new spin on it and avoided a total "been there, done that" effect. (However, it's not recommended for you, Bud. It isn't the kind of ending you like.)

A fine review, Wayne. And knowing I might be put off by the ending means it won't hit me between the eyes, so I can roll with the punch and perhaps enjoy this movie anyway.

I've put it on my Netflix list, and after I've watched the movie I'll let you know what my reaction was.

This is a slam-bang thriller with great premise, plenty of action, interesting characters, and a wonderful twist ending.

I recommend this movie to fellow science fiction fans. I was glad Wayne warned me that the ending might differ from what I usually prefer. It made it easy to enjoy the movie without being disappointed that my predictions about the climax weren't correct.
