The wild card in all this "T"-ness is Marcus (Sam Worthington), a Death Row inmate-turned-cyborg. "You think you're human," Connor tells him, and indeed he does. More important, so do we: Marcus the machine is a far more interesting character than Connor.The world McG presents to us is scorched and hostile, and the action is startling and visceral.
