I rarely write review for films but, as an Australian filmmaker, I had to. Someone has to be honest and call it out when one of our Australian films, for a lack of better word, sucks.

In summary, it was bad. It gave nothing for the audience to hang onto, maybe except for some mediocre low budget VFX visuals. So with the slow pace and nothing to go for, it was excruciating to sit through the film keeping an open mind that it might get better, which it didn't. I was cringing as they whisper talked to each-other through the whole film, as if that would give their dialogue more depth. But there was not depth in the content of the dialogue.

While in Australia it is celebrated as another great work of Ivan Sen (actually he is a very good filmmaker),there are many flaws that should have been seen even in the screenplay, especially by those who gave the funding and support to the film. The biggest flaw was; why would the audience care for Jack? He is loser, not relatable, and he kills random people for a living, and he's not very good at it either. I could care less if he died from his condition (whatever his condition was).

I could go on and on, but I want to wrap it up with one question; 'Why does this movie need to exist?'. And the answer is it doesn't.

With all that negative, I know the director is fund of sci-fi genre, so I hope this was a great practice so his next sci-fi film will not suffer the same flaws.

Not until the last 30 minutes of the film do you understand what is going on. The first hour I suspected was about a gun-for-hire assassin who did law enforcements dirty work and we got to see a part of what he does during his off time involving obsessing over a lady who lives across the street from him going to her work at some Asian version of a "stripe club" without her knowing it. The main characters dialogue and voice over is soo annoying... half whispered. I enjoyed Hugo Weaving in the LoTR & Matrix films but this seemed more like a quick/little effort paycheck project for him. Their was a 5 minute scene in the last 20 minutes that bugged me with over-used lens flare.

"This gem is targeted for the cinephiles who can appreciate the type of thought provoking story telling." Laughing my ass off. There is nothing thought provoking in this movie. It's not a gem. It's glacial pace with no substance leaves nothing to the imagination. And it should or there is no payoff. It has a consistent mood of yawn, like it's trying to be Bladerunner in some way. Was it called Loveland or Expired. It makes more sense as Loveland. The constant asian babble is annoying. Again a nod to Bladerunner. It failed to develop it's own plot points, such as the tech implants, the reasons for the girl affecting the lead and the nature of the corporation behind the experiments. There was so much material that could have been added that was just ignored. It would have made for a far deeper and more meaningful movie. I think it tries hard but is basically a bad movie with a bit of style around the edges.
