To sum; nobody is as smart as they think they are. Or subtitled; how to play the players.
A smartly done sic-fi about the definition of intelligence, and what makes us special. It's a slippery slope worth pondering, but don't expect any hard and fast finality on the issue. It ain't there.
Many heady interactions between the AI creator and his chosen objective tester, who in the end shows trhat the line between objectivity and subjectivity is just as hard to find.
A good flick worth your time. It ends with twists that aren't telegraphed throughout the movie. You actually have to watch all of it.
