Hardwired

One thing I can say right away about this movie is that it was kinda gross. Seriously. One minute into it and I see something so disturbing I was uh, yeah...anyways, I was creeped out and on the edge of my seat more than once. haha This movie is about our world in the future, where advertisements have gone overboard. Every building is advertising something, whether it is Pepsi, a chocolate bar, McDonalds, or the latest watch. Luke Gibson (Cuba Gooding Jr, also seen in Radio, The Way of War, Daddy Day Camp, and many other movies), a faithful husband to a beautiful, pregnant woman, gets in a car accident one night. After seeing that his insurance card was expired, the surgeon has him moved and left. Hope Corporation, however, comes in just in time, saying they have a way to save him. By insterting a chip into the back of his head, he is able to live. His life came with a price, though. His memories were wiped away, so he had no feelings for his now dead wife. But advertisements also came. He started to see things others could not. Advertisements were played over and over in his head, and he could not stop them till he either bought or stole the items. Killing headaches start to torment this man after his first crime. After many people tried to kill him, and him only getting away because of floating directions in his mind, he joins a small team of hackers to get to the middle of Hope Corporation, and destroy those who were destroying others. Okay, people, this is rated R, with language, some suggestive material, and some kind of disturbing things. So if you decide to watch it, know that. haha This wasn't a bad movie. It was nice that a group of people were trying to save others, and it was well made. I would def. watch it again, but not too soon. =)
