Consensus: Though it sports a slick look and feel, Surrogates fails to capitalize on a promising premise, relying instead on mindless action and a poor script.

Reviews for Surrogates
Harbinger of what should be coming.
09/25/09
Surrogates leaves you wanting more, but is entertaining for the short run time.
09/25/09
Do the actors sound so robotic because they are playing robots well or humans badly? And did a machine write this dialogue? If so, could we please apply for an upgrade?
09/25/09
The film moves along so quickly, and the surrogate world look is so eerie.
09/25/09
Bruce Willis has little to do but hit his predictable marks and mouth the generic dialogue.
09/25/09
Top CriticSurrogates creates a world it has little interest in exploring beyond the boundaries set by a fairly dull whodunit.
09/25/09
Like Blade Runner re-imagined by a twelve-year-old.

I wanted to love it. I was somewhat entertained. I'd like to go check out the graphic novelit is loosely based on. But it left me as emotionally cold as an unplugged surrogate.

Imagine that your Facebook page, complete with that airbrushed profile photo, can go out into "real" society and leave you at home twiddling your fingers, living vicariously through it. That's the general concept of Surrogates, where humans stay sh

A glimpse into the world Obama and his horde want to bring you enveloped in a sci-fi mien.
09/25/09
Surrogates nudges the robo-thriller in an interesting direction.
09/25/09
Surrogates bleakly satirizes our increasingly plugged-in world.
09/25/09
A twisty whodunit that is never quite believable or satisfying, especially when [Willis] tries to re-connect with the humanity he has lost by living such a sheltered life.
09/25/09
Like the titular avatars in this graphic novel adaptation, "Surrogates" is a rote whodunit masquerading as a techno-thriller.

Parental Content Review
09/25/09
Surrogates is yet another film that got swallowed by the Hollywood machine and spit out the other side. It's a surrogate of itself.
09/25/09
Despite bumpy execution likely to have detractors yelling "déjà boo," Surrogates oozes possibilities.
09/25/09
The script is by the team that gave us Catwoman and the last two Terminator movies, which tells you all you need to know.
09/25/09
Fans of actual sci-fi literature will probably enjoy this more than fans of slam-bang action. But at less than 90 minutes, it's not long enough to bore the haters too badly.
