What if the sex robots from Blade Runner had their own murder mystery a la... Mindhunter? The script doesn't seem to be that bad, good sound design, good costume and set design. I think the movie mostly suffers from bad cinematography that makes all the other hard work look like home video or student film and takes you out of it. There's some delicious overacting straight from the island of Dr. Moreau by one of the villains but overall the cast is doing a good job. Another weakness to me is the overuse of psycho POV video footage, although I guess that also belongs to cinematography and direction, but it feels a liitle too obsessed with killer perversion to the point of fetishizing. The movie could have been better focusing on the story of the girl wanting to be a machine and the moral dilemma of killing a human under the assumption of them being a machine, which seems to be at the core of the script, but gets lost in whodunnit torture porn.
