Neither Romance nor Thriller
Repetitive and predictable
This one has an interesting premise, but ultimately fell flat. The first time he kills her, it's a bit of a shock, but then the story becomes more and more repetitive and predictable. After he has done the deed three or four times and it has become increasingly obvious that he killed the original in the first place, I realized I was only half way through the movie. While the visuals and the acting are engaging enough, I didn't see myself sitting through the rest of it. What didn't help is that the whole concept of having to stab an android in the neck for turning it off is a bit ridiculous, since there surely must be less gruesome ways to operate a kill switch. What happened to remote controls?
