You guessed it. We're in doppelgangerville once more.
Bruce Willis is a cop living in a future where people live in isolation and interact in the real world by means of surrogate robots. In pursuit of a suspect for an unprecedented murder, Bruce breaks some rules (through his surrogate) and ends up getting suspended from the force. No longer having a surrogate, he does the unthinkable -- ventures out on the streets where there are only surrogates anymore.
This is a solid science fiction idea with some nice world-building. Good details, a sense of logic to most everything. It has a spooky futuristic feel to it. Unfortunately, it soon reverts to a rather formulaic action flick. I suppose that all Bruce Willis vehicles are required to have a die-hard feel to them anymore. Sigh.
All in all, might be worth a doppelgander. But it could have been so much better!
