Possessor - 2020 - 6/10

Near future SciFi of espionage, mind control, assassination.
After the hack crew implants a teammate’s consciousness into the victim’s brain, the body is now a killing machine.
Apparently there is a “bleed-thru”. Suspected by the crew, but not addressed.
That was one of the problems I had.
Hallucinatory visuals look old school (not CGI) and are enjoyable.
Ruttings and gory violence throughout.
Midway, I felt the story beginning to loop.
I kept waiting for a fresh element. Particularly, defense.
Firewall, poison pill, malware detection, counter implant. No, nothing like that.
Nicely done, but seek out Predestination (2014) afterward.
