Surrogates In the not too distant future, surrogates are physically perfect robot versions of ourselves that we control remotely from cosy 'stim' chairs, allowing us to experience an idealised life from the comfort of our own living rooms. Bruce Willis has got a bad feeling about this...
If you could look however you wanted to look, what would you pick? If you're Bruce Willis's FBI Agent Thomas Greer, you smooth your sad-sack skin out a little, ditch the salt and pepper goatee, add a full head of blond locks and an anchor man's tan. If you're any of the women in Surrogates, you decide that footballer's wife at a wedding is the way to go. More intriguingly, there'...

Not as bad as the reviews say. True its a thriller that seems to be going through the motions at times.
