CriticsCritics: 78

In a dystopian future, a computer hacker discovers that everyday reality may be an elaborate digital illusion controlled by powerful machines. After joining underground rebels, he must learn the rules of this hidden world and decide how far he is willing to go to help free humanity.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like stylish science-fiction, martial-arts action, and questions about reality, choice, and control; Not for you if you prefer subtle acting, grounded stories, or tightly explained world-building.
