This is a gloomy, dark and futuristic movie where everything and everyone has basically gone to the dogs. There is rampant gene manipulation, an unfortunate result of science gone horribly wrong. Bai is an assassin for hire, trying to buy her way to a better life for herself and her loser brother. They get caught between a couple of groups of baddies and then the fun is on!
Not a masterpiece and the CGI is mediocre (but still interesting to watch), but it's a fun enough plot line and the action is good. A bit nasty at times, but not too bad. Weirdly, Faye Dunaway is in this. I don't know why she'd want to. Seems like an odd career choice.
And it was fun to hear some good, old fashioned industrial music again (Combichrist). It's been awhile since I've heard any, frankly.
If you're into this kind of movie (and love B movies in general), this is probably a must see. For all others, probably not. One tentacle up.
