Spoilers. Gross-out. First female victim actually a fat dude

Spoilers.


This was particularly effective and I congratulate the creepy, skin-crawling touch of the director.

The first surrogate to be terminated is a sexy, hot young women out of a nightclub. When the cops trace it to the biological owner, they expect a woman to be an owner. What they find is a gross-out. It is a yukkk, fat, greasy-looking, face-stubble, beer-belly, middle-aged single (loser) dude lying dead in his recliner chair. This guy was living out his surrogate sexual fantasy as a hot young babe. In the future world of the surrogate, everyone typically selects a 'perfect' version of themselves, usually five to ten years younger-looking and physically trim and perfect with the face still essentially the same as the human owner but 'sculpted' enough to make you attractive.

What grossed me out even more was that the hot babe surrogate was face-sucking another guy, probably another surrogate, at the posh nightclub.

That concept wasn't discussed but it's fascinating. In other words, even if you don't have a pretty or handsome face, your surrogate's face will be molded and 'touched up' enough to make you look pretty or handsome, without changing to a completely different face. (Yeah, years ago, I was looking at an unattractive woman's face and thought to myself, if her squinty eyes were simply opened up by simple, common cosmetic surgery, and her pock-marked face skin resurfaced and made smooth, she could actually be pretty! And if she also grew her hair a little longer with a decent couture.)
