Netflix and action sci-fi is a risky combination, but this movie is a pleasant surprise. Given its 5 mil. budget, you could actually see the team squeezing every bit out of it, sometimes being on the edge of looking cheap. The strongest point is the script but this movie is solid in all departments. More budget to these movies and we could have another Matrix.
