I read the summary and it sounded like a crazy, fun, over the top, light hearted sci-fi adventure movie which also had some thought provoking aspects, kind of like Highrise but less arty and not so focussed on metaphors and imagery. But then I watched the trailer and TBH I feel like I might be a bit boring.
I mean, it's a movie about a dead elite CIA agent's conscience being put into another man's body to try to take down the all powerful, missile launching super-hacker who killed him. I wasn't expecting for the trailer to show me a movie about an old guy with amnesia trying to remember his past, and I certainly didn't expect for it to look at what it would be like for the CIA agents family.
On the other hand, I can't see a film like this not having a few tricks up its sleeve in terms of plot, so I may be proved wrong yet. But still, that colour palet was dull as fuck, and not even in a minimalistic way.

Not that Highrise was a crazy, over the top, light heart, fun adventure movie, just that it was funny as fuck when it wanted to be and seemed to maintain a slight smirk throughout, and it certainly was crazy.
