Though the filmmakers deliver a 'man should not play God' message, the movie's unsettling brand of gallows humor makes it hard to take such pronouncements seriously.

If replicating the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger was truly a pressing possibility, we'd get superior knockoffs of better days than this.

Rotten
The filmmakers are too willing to do whatever they think will push the audience's button.

Both good and bad news. Good: It's a solid action movie. Bad: It feels like it could have been made five or 10 years ago. It feels stale.
