Synopsis:
An assassin and her ne'er-do-well brother fight for their lives over a device that can reprogram a person's DNA.

Impressions:
I'll admit that there are some decent ideas here. Unfortunately, nothing about this film is up to the task of delivering those ideas in an entertaining fashion. You can usually forgive a few weak elements if others are strong enough to offset that weakness. However, other than the aforementioned promise of some of the ideas, nothing about this movie is any good. The acting is bad, the writing is bad, the effects are bad, etc. The punk aesthetic fits the tone. I guess that's one more thing to give the movie. Even as a curiosity, it's not really worth your time. Pass on it.
