    Wifelike? What the hell is Wifelike? Hmm? Well, Wifelike is like a company that creates expensive android replicas of dead women for their widowers. Well, you can safely say sexy android women for that matter because that is exactly what it is, A company that creates robot women who are actually very, very sexy, That's good news for me to hear. But the bad news is that the film itself stars none other than Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Oh God. I'm in trouble. In the future, the company "Wifelike" creates expensive android replicas of dead women for their widowers. The companions are subservient to their respective owners while gradually developing consciousness. S.C.A.I.R., a group of militant activists, seek to destroy the company for their AI exploitation, seeing the companions as slaves. A branch of their group is committing terrorist acts to accomplish their mission; these supposedly involve stealing robots from their owners, reprogramming them, and using them to perform various crimes, including bombing buildings. The police cannot locate their leader, nicknamed "the Ringmaster". William Bradwell played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, works in finding stolen androids and returning them home. He orders one made to resemble his deceased love, Meredith. Once activated, the companion starts learning about Meredith to become more like her. According to William, Meredith used to be a S.C.A.I.R activist, until she fell in love with him, abandoned her cause, and married him. This is not the first time that William has gone through this process; previous iterations of his Meredith replica have already been stolen by S.C.A.I.R. and recovered by him, with her memory of the experience being wiped every time. You know, the film wouldn't be too bad unless I seen it about three times which I did but what's there to fill in for it, it's dull. I mean that it's so boring. Anything that Jonathan stars in didn't do a thing for me and I think it didn't do a thing to a lot of you either. the main actress is good in it. That's one thing considering how sexy she really is just like a lot of women I think of so far. Yeah, I mean, like people have never f**ked a robot before. Hahaha. When Jonathan is chasing someone trying to kill him, he shoves a woman at Jonathan and then Jonathan punches her to get her out of his way! What the hell, Jonathan? Why would you do that? What did she ever do to you? Come on, man, You can't do that to anybody when you're chasing someone! That's not right! Goddamn! Again, just like what I have witnessed, this is another of those movies that I did not get p***ed off by but instead of this, I get bored by them. I still wanting to enjoy them but got pretty by them which is disappointing for me. Any film I went into starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers is garbage constantly. Garbage, garbage, garbage. Wifelike film, Wifes**te film, Wifelike f**k off out of my site.
