Ghost In The Shell
In the near future, Major Motoko Kusanagi (Scarlett Johansson) is the first
of her kind: A human saved from a terrible terrorist attack, who is
cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most
dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the
ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major Kusanagi is
uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major
Kusanagi discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was
stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to
her, and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally
acclaimed Japanese Manga, “The Ghost in the Shell.”
Critic Reviews:
- " This is an exciting, fun, futuristic thriller that, like its main
character, has a probing mind. It will make you think. " –
Stephen Romei
- " Johansson emanates a dogged vulnerability that's supremely human.
" – Kate Stables
- " A worthy effort that questions what it is to be human and the role of
technology as we move forward. At least you can't say it isn't asking
big-picture questions. " – Steven Prokopy
