Although this is a sci-fi movie, it attempts to address something much deeper, to gain understanding of what makes a person violent. You get to go 'inside' a mind of a psychopath. which is a bit unsettling, because of the picture and sound effects when you are 'in' the psychopath's memories.

The movie has a couple of nice twists, having watched the movie with my other half, we kept talking about it afterwards.

All in all a very satisfying watch. There should be more sci-fi movies like this with a theme that has roots in reality not just killing random aliens.
