Keith Uhlich
Surrogates is an A-list blockbuster that would fit, damn proudly, on the lower half of a double bill.
James Berardinelli
Whatever the reason, Surrogates was shielded from the eyes of critics before its opening, and that's a shame. Because, whatever its flaws, it is a good movie.
David Hiltbrand
If the whole point of this surrogate society is to appear as a perfectly beautiful avatar, why would Bruce Willis choose that ludicrous blond wig that looks like he plucked it off a mannequin at Boscov's?
Roger Ebert
Surrogates is entertaining and ingenious, but it settles too soon for formula.
J. R. Jones
The premise for this sci-fi actioner makes sense for about four seconds, after which you begin to wonder why everyone on the planet would willingly become a shut-in, how the poor are supposed to shell out for these high-tech androids, etc.
Ty Burr
Give credit to filmmaker Jonathan Mostow for keeping the movie on track; give credit to star Bruce Willis for keeping a straight face.

Technology Coming Soon The idea for this movie is currently in development and may be a common thing for our children. I love that this movie is getting people to think about an extreme case of technology fixation in the worst degree. Will we one day have rehabs for people not willing to be anything but there surrogate's? We may soon find out!
Not the worst I've ever seen But after you've watched a few Bruce Willis films you've pretty much seen them all.
Needs brains You gotta have smarts to understand this movie. I watched it on netflix & thought it was great.
