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.
Hollywood movies have taught me to suspect the main character as soon as he appears, when the genre is "robot identity crisis". But for this movie the most definite moment was when she woke up behind the glass.
shareI didn't know she was a an enhanced human or humanoid.
Honestly, I thought she was just an assassin sent by the company to eliminate experiments that become a threat. but many she really sucked. I thought she was going to kick some butt the way she came up in there all polished and stiff, stoic and serious.
When I first saw her haircut.... she reminded of Robert Patrick right off the bat
shareWhen I first saw her, since I've been bingewatching Humans and she was acting like she watched that show also
Revenge is a dish that best goes stale.
LOL what did they call that when humans were acting like synths? I can't recall but something to the effect they were simulating synths. Like a fad of some sort.
shareIt was completely obvious when the otherwise-pointless JLL character says "you're a goddamned assassin". So that was like, what, ten minutes in.
But even well prior to that, the filmmaker's stupidly tipped off things with an overly robotic voice-over introduction by the character before we ever see Kate Mara on-screen! Yes, yes, yes, she was supposed to be a stodgy corporate drone in the metaphorical sense. But I had already figured that because the movie was about the assessment of AI that it would involve a large-scale Turing test. I was fully prepared for the possibility that even more characters could have been nano-enhanced and passing as part of the team to the point of fooling even human scientists working in the field (which would have actually been a better plot/"twist" if like the cute cook and one of the PHDs were also androids).
The Helsinki conversation further confirmed any suspicion. It was why the Chinese lady had that sealed-fate look. She knew she had recognized Lee as a previous model - one that was now out on its own doing wetwork and clean-up.
Sadly all these elements were revealed well before we even formally meet Morgan who clearly looked at and spoke to Lee with knowledge of her "secret" identity.
the moment which confirmed it for me was when Morgan said this:
"I'm starting to feel like myself. Do you feel like yourself, Lee? Or do you feel like something else."
this was a giveaway. "You're a god-damned assassin" was a big clue.
At first I though it was another superhollywood woman nonsense doing better than men. So she was kicking ass with that small frame while looking cool.
But I knew something was wrong when after Morgan killed the black guy Lee asked her to enter the cage and Morgan said that she would like to because they had lot to speak off.So it was obviously that they both were an experiment.
"I'm starting to feel like myself. Do you feel like yourself, Lee? Or do you feel like something else."
Me too this line confirmed Lee was also a hybrid.
The moment she appeared on screen...no subtle at all...
shareWhen she came back to the lake.
Falling off the balcony and getting right back up, that can be explained by "hollywoodness".
Lee acting all robotic, that's Kate Mara's acting for me.
"That was a courtesy flush. I'm not actually done yet"
