A Man Keeps His Memories But Loses His Body In Australian Sci-Fi Thriller Restoration
Elements of Total Recall, Ghost in the Shell and, uh, Face/Off pepper the trailer for Restoration, a noirish thriller about a man who is horrified to awaken from a memory-upload procedure to find he’s been zapped into the wrong body.
