This is a very thought-provoking film. It wasn't necessarily action packed, but the drama and eerie builds to a climax that will definitely have you thinking, analyzing, and re-analyzing the ending and what it means. Alicia Vikander is great as always and I love how her eyes always seem to draw you in. Is she dangerous or just sad and lonely? What is true artificial intelligence? The rest of the cast is superb as well, and I give the director a thumbs up for his creative use of the lighting and camera angles that kept me on edge for a majority of the film.
