Neurolink gone wrong
The premise of "upgrading" humans is intriguing, especially now that Elon Musk has had some success with neural link installed in a quadriplegic. The film explores the moral and safety issues with this technology, extrapolated into the future.
There was one weird dialog exchange with a female illegal hacker who said, "Please don't ask my gender," and then implied that she is non-binary while pretending to be offended for no reason. Also, top notch underground hackers are rarely biological females, so this character seems DEI. 1 woke point.
