Future sci-fi movie Kill Code hits digital platforms to buy or rent today in the US. Set in a future where AI is ruling at the expense of human freedom, Kill Code explores themes of cyberpunk and dystopia, featuring cyber enhancement, and artificial intelligence as an oppressive power.

Synopsis –

After the Second Civil War, Alpire Industries promises lasting peace through the ONYX Program: AI-powered watches strapped to criminals, forcing them into deadly combat for redemption. But the system is evolving beyond its creators’ control. When cyber-enhanced operative Elera uncovers the truth, she becomes the corporation’s most wanted fugitive. Hunted by her former mentor, Eion Vass, Elera joins a rogue resistance to destroy Alpire’s mainframe before the AI turns all humanity into targets.

Kill Code is directed by Justin Price, who is also one of the stars of the movie. He has previously directed and starred in Reapers and I Heart Robots, both futuristic sci-fi movies, so most of his directing experience is in the genre.

Acting heavyweight Harvey Keitel also stars, along with the always entertaining Peter Stormare, who has cyberpunk pedigree from his role in Minority Report. Kill Code also stars Frank Grillo, most notable for his role as Brock Rumlow in the MCU, and now Rick Flag Sr. in James Gunn’s DC TV shows and movies. 

Relative unknown Franzi Schissler plays the cyber-enhanced operative Elena, and we’re looking forward to seeing her kick ass. In the trailer, she is shown wielding a very interesting looking glove-gun. The world on display includes some high-tech, futuristic vehicles and equipment, and some suitably dystopian looking slums, whilst the villains appear to be safe in almost literally an ivory tower. To complete the cyberpunk effect, there’s also plenty of rain, and a bit of neon lighting. Kill Code has a tight runtime of 80 minutes, so we’re hopeful of a fast moving action-packed film.
