At what point did you suspect


That Lee wasn't fully human?

For me the moment I started to suspect that she might be enhanced was when both she and Morgan fell out of the second story window, and both just got up and pretty much shook it off like nothing.

Then when she was impaled by the tree branch, I thought that's if for her, but when she was standing on the pier behind Morgan at that point I was pretty certain that my hunch was right.

at the trailers.

When she climbed up and kicked out the skylight. Up until that point I thought her behaviour was unusual (i.e. strolling casually into the room after the psychiatrist was killed, inviting Morgan to come into the room and chat) but given how unusual much of the characters' behaviour was up until the point I'd just assumed it was Hollywood asking us to abandon logic.

That Lee wasn't fully human?


Very early on. During the opening phone call the man she was talking to said they didn't want another Helsinki, indicating that Morgan wasn't the first time they'd tried to artificially create life. After watching her first few scenes, it just popped into my head that she was probably also artificially created. It's exactly the kind of "twist" that Hollywood is fond of using.

It was also used in the movie Watchers, way back in 1988 when Michael Ironside also turned out to be an experiment.

I first suspected when she was looked at herself in the mirror in the beginning of the movie and straightened her hair. She seemed really stiff, and I wondered if she was a robot or whatever as well.

For me watching this, I had my own suspicions something wasn't right when Lee was packing a hidden gun to the psych Turing test evaluation with that doctor. Another hint was when she was locked in the area and broke through the skylight without breaking a sweat but also the lack of emotions after the attack during the psych evaluation.

What really clued me in was that while the others could not match Morgan's superhuman like speed and strength it was Lee matching her blow by blow without flinching at all and taking all her hits including the fall out the window. I knew then for sure! The other later clues would be again the lack of emotion but also even some subtle hints like Morgan looking at Lee through the glass and the almost mirror like reflection of the two. Another one as ones have noted include Lee getting impaled and while it could be shock but acting like it was no big deal hence the advanced human like healing ability of sorts even though it was not mentioned and lack of bleeding out.

not human? Even if lee was genetically altered or enhanced like Morgan, they were both still made of human DNA or at least human body parts. Did the enhanced DNA make their bones made of steal? and not able to die? I really didn't get that from the movie. Morgan survived the fall because she was smart enough to know how to fall and survive it. She had enhanced intellect. Lee was simply trained to kill, fight and survive. They were both cut up and injured like humans. I don't see any evidence from the movie to suggest they were somehow not human physically.

Lee is impaled on a broken branch and subsequently walks onto the pier without so much as a bloodstain on her shirt?

I didn't expect it until they were having dinner and Lee started speaking what was it, Chinese?

At first, I thought she was just cleanup for their AI experiments gone wrong. I didn't see the trailer for this movie so I really had no idea what I was about to watch. But to just randomly start talking in Chinese, that set off my suspicions.

What solidified it for me was when Lee is locked in the room and Morgan asks her "Do you feel like yourself, Lee?"

I still enjoyed it though. Decent watch. 7.5/10

Mmmm probably towards the beginning when they were looking at each other through the glass. Dunno why, just triggered. Lee climbing up the skylight and shattering the window was a dead giveaway IMO for anyone else.
