For a plot summary please look at the start of the page.
Film feel: The exposition and and main part of the movie is eerily similar to the likes of Moon and Oblivion. But in contrast, this film drags on much more because there is no funny dialog or a subplot. The dominant grey-blue colour palette doesn't help either. The film wants to showcase the monotonous and boring routine of the main character but takes it too far and bores the viewer.
The film tries to have a twist ending but is to simple to really pull it off. The story is so bland that one can count the possible endings on two fingers.
If you're a cynic (like me) then you will like the ending. More would be spoiler.
Exposition: 1/10 (if you have seen Oblivion and/or Moon you can skip it) Main Part: 1/10 (too bland and simple) Ending: 6/10 (good ending for cynics; I couldn't stop grinning)
TLDR: if this was a 20 min short film it might have been good. Like this it drags on for 90% of the run time.

pro:
-interesting concept
-some nice-ish twists and turns
con:
-obvious plot armour
example:
-the sibling can take extreme punishment and are fine while trained soldiers "luckily" trip and break their necks
-all bad guys can't hit anything (they are all trained soldiers!) while the good guy is basically John Wick
Normally I wouldn't complain about something like that but here it was extreme and took me out of the experience.
04/10 = bad genre film = wouldn't recommend
