Dr. Emil Harting: "You've got an army inside you."

Quite good / Interesting concept or execution / Evoking
Random notes:
- The nanite CGI was so fucking cool. There's a shot where half his face gets blown off and then reaches in slow motion - epic. Oh, and of course when we first witness the healing technology after Dr. Harting cut Ray's palm!
- I really liked the concept behind KT's breathaliser. It was an especially satisfying payoff when she was smoking the joint that rendered Wilfred unconscious. I was just like YESS when I realised what was going on.
- The fight scene in the tunnel was so brilliantly done. I was on edge and fully immersed in the phenomenal action sequences.
- THAT twist was so well-executed. It could have been a sloppy, half-assed attempt at a twist, but was instead quite confronting. The attention to detail and small, little hints were also nice. The foreshadowing was so rewarding in the BIG reveal.
- A big question that foreshadowed the film was, how long has he been 'dead' for. For me, It was kinda predictable that his relationship with Gina was smoke-and-mirrors. However, she did provide the information that he had been deceived for 5 years! No wonder KT felt bad for him.
- When the first villain entered and danced to a dramatic song playing in the background, I vividly remember thinking: "Lex Luthor in Batman V Superman!" So when Dr. Harting was criticising the tech-guy for blatantly ripping off every cliche film villain entrance, I couldn't help but chuckle.
- The movie also gave me some strong "Alita: Battle Angel" vibes! Espeacially during the chase scene with the one guy who had the metal legs and the other who used ocular drones to see.
