(rated PG13)
An imaginative thriller starring Robin Williams as an editor of movies – but not the kind Hollywood makes. Instead a Zoe Chip is implanted into wealthy humans (a toy for the privileged few) to have their entire life recorded and later edited by Williams, before loved ones view it at the funeral. This gives Williams the power to play part Priest (absolving them of sins) and part mortician (since he deals with dead bodies). It also opens an entire can of worms since some things are better left undone. Like Dolly the Sheep and cloning where are boundaries not to be crossed? Williams, afterall can make a corrupt business man look like a saint. He can eliminate matrimony to masturbation, dermabrasion to divorce, afterthoughts to affairs, all through the power of his editing, since everything is documented. Williams stands up flawlessly in this role of how a man with such a talent can distance himself from the outside world — unable to experience his own life in the first person, until confronted with an image from his own childhood. Mira Sorvino and Jim Caviezel star in supporting roles.
