About this movie

From the visionary mind of writer director Brandon Cronenberg (Antiviral), Possessor is a game-changing sci-fi thriller about elite, corporate assassin Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough, Mandy). Using brain-implant technology, Vos takes control of other people's bodies to execute high profile targets. As she sinks deeper into her latest assignment Vos becomes trapped inside a mind that threatens to obliterate her. Possessor features a stellar cast including Christopher Abbott (It Comes at Night, The Sinner), Rossif Sutherland (Guest of Honour), Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey), Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight).

Ratings and reviews

Predictable and very heavy handed on its 'philosophy'. If you've only watched very little in the sci fi genre you might find it refreshing/intriguing but otherwise I'd advise you skip the heinous rental price I paid (£5.99). Trailer makes this looks like a fast-paced film but it's actually much more introspective.

Great Story, plot, script , direction, and Andrea R is fantastic. The struggle between the characters is plausible, This Cronenberg is already on the right path. A great movie to watch, better than Tenet & the you can clearly hear what the actors are saying.

Wanted to like it, bored to tears. Only made it half way through before turning it off.
