A brutal mugging leaves Grey Trace paralyzed in the hospital and his beloved wife dead. A billionaire inventor soon offers Trace a cure -- an artificial intelligence implant called STEM that will enhance his body. Now able to walk, Grey finds that he also has superhuman strength and agility -- skills he uses to seek revenge against the thugs who destroyed his life

The Good - Great Action Scenes, the Cast does a great job with few exceptions.. Anyone who enjoyed Maxim the Parasite(anime or movies) along with elements of this years Death Wish movie, the Futuristic advance tech displayed is convincingly realistic just like the emotion conveyed by the leading cast

The Bad - This took me a few minutes because I didn't find much I disliked about this movie and this is going to be very nit picky, there is one torture interrogation scene where they seem to get squeamish and you don't see whats happening.  I would have liked it if the film makers were a little more subtle and mysterious about the direction the plot was heading also not that its a bad thing but the ending while both interesting & satisfying does sort of point to a sequel which I certainly would go to the cinema to see but no one likes a Cliffhanger if that's indeed what it was.
