Consensus: Though it sports a slick look and feel, Surrogates fails to capitalize on a promising premise, relying instead on mindless action and a poor script.

Reviews for Surrogates
This popcorn thriller has a bit of imagination blended in with the been-done-before action.
09/28/09
Surrogates - double the sci-fi fun in only 85 minutes. Why the rush, Mr. Willis?
09/27/09
High-tech robots threaten humanity in edgy sci-fi thriller.
09/27/09
Whatever the reason, Surrogates was shielded from the eyes of critics before its opening, and that's a shame. Because, whatever its flaws, it is a good movie.
09/27/09
Top CriticIf the whole point of this surrogate society is to appear as a perfectly beautiful avatar, why would Bruce Willis choose that ludicrous blond wig that looks like he plucked it off a mannequin at Boscov's?
09/27/09
Top CriticIf you didn't know any better, you'd swear that both the cast and crew of Surrogates were trying to make the worst movie possible.
09/27/09
Surrogates is entertaining and ingenious, but it settles too soon for formula.
09/27/09
Top CriticThe premise for this sci-fi actioner makes sense for about four seconds, after which you begin to wonder why everyone on the planet would willingly become a shut-in, how the poor are supposed to shell out for these high-tech androids, etc.
09/27/09
While the film can’t escape its own robotic storytelling and inability to elicit a genuine emotion, it does deserve credit for keeping the focus on people, not robots.
09/27/09
Give credit to filmmaker Jonathan Mostow for keeping the movie on track; give credit to star Bruce Willis for keeping a straight face.
09/27/09
If you keep your expectations low, there are some sci-fi pleasures of visual appeal to be had, but it's tough getting past director Jonathan Mostow's wet noodle brand of storytelling.
09/27/09
Yetta nudder cautionary tale issuing dire warnings about the pitfalls of technology run amuck.
09/27/09
A familiar feeling mash-up of many films, Surrogates is enjoyable as the slight popcorn chomper it's meant to be. Won't tax the brain overmuch, but is enjoyable as the modern day 1950's B-movie that it is.
09/26/09
Bruce Willis sees robot surrogates instead of dead people in this fairly entertaining sci fi flick
09/26/09
Throw away the Blackberry? Surrogates is yet another serviceable sci-fi whodunit about how our dependency on technology will be the ruin of us all.
09/26/09
While this sci-fi thriller has an intriguing premise, it's synthetic and superficial in its execution.
09/26/09
Because it's easy to spot the culprit, suspense gets short shrift here. That's surprising, for Jonathan Mostow delivered uber-suspense in 'Breakdown.'
09/26/09
While the film will make you contemplate the effects of technology on human interaction, the script is dull and one dimensional. The worst part is that it could have been great.
09/26/09
One of the year's more entertaining sci-fi films.
