Criminal

• Action
• Crime
• Science Fiction

A hardened criminal unexpectedly finds himself inhabiting the consciousness – and lethal skillset – of a deceased CIA operative in a desperate, ticking-clock scenario to prevent global catastrophe. Beyond a simple body-swap action premise, *Criminal* delves into the unsettling psychological consequences of forcibly implanted identity, exploring how fragmented memories and ingrained instincts clash within a single, unwilling host. The film avoids the typical spy thriller’s focus on sophisticated gadgetry, instead visualizing a brutal, visceral struggle for control as the convict grapples with a life – and a mission – not his own, punctuated by stark, unflinching depictions of violence and interrogation. This isn’t a story of seamless assimilation, but of raw, instinctual reactions battling against layers of professional training, ultimately questioning the very definition of self when memories become a transplanted weapon.
