A robotics company teams up with a corrupt CIA agent undergoing an illegal, unsanctioned military operation. Dropping four prototype robots into a suspected drug manufacturing camp in the Golden triangle that no one will miss. The mission is to prove the robotics company is worthy of winning a lucrative military contract. Six doctors on a good cause witness the brutal slaughter of an innocent village and are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse as they become the new targets.

Meh, it was okaaay.
Its another AI robot soldier run amok story.
CIA being the bad guy, not caring about non-combatants.

Personally, I liked Kill Command (2016) better.
Not sure why I made that association while I was watching it.
It was entertaining enought to keep my attention but not as good as I thought it could have been. Production values were okay. Plot was stupid and done better before.
Another example of Hollywood sacrificing creativity in favor of commonality to make profit.
At best, a rental.
