  • Complete Monster: Julian Michaels is the corrupt CEO of the titular company, which lets thousands of clients live out their darkest fantasies on "artificials", humanoid androids designed with thoughts and feelings. Each day, Julian lets his clients hurt, rape and even murder the artificials before wiping their memories and repairing them each night. Apathetic to suffering, Julian is uncaring when told that allowing people to take such uninhibited actions will cause them to become violent criminals in society. After an artificial named Kelly escapes, Julian has his men hunt her using lethal force, killing multiple civilians in the process. When Kelly's ally reloads all the memories back into the artificials, causing them to attack the clients who made them suffer, Julian becomes irritated and decides to use a kill switch to wipe them out. A callous businessman who hides his vile nature under superficial charm, Julian is in truth only interested in what will bring him profit.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: The main draw to the film is that Bruce Willis plays the villain, as opposed to the usual action hero he gets cast as.
  • So Okay, It's Average: The plot has been done before and there is very little effort in bringing anything new to the table, with the whole thing coming across as an incredibly generic Cyberpunk detective movie.
