I loved that movie. Good surprise.
Carlos Rivera is a robot private detective who has a holographic head. His real “eye” is at the black square on his “collar”. This collar houses also a holographic projector that projects his head. At some scenes during the movie, the projector becomes obstructed, partially blocking his head projection. At the scene depicted above, an offscreen goon gets the first shot on Carlos, nailing him square on the head. Too bad their aim was too good.
The moment was easy to miss since it was a single frame during a hectic shootout. To me this was such a cool neat little detail that I wanted to share it. The movie in general has some interesting scifi neo-noir world building stuff going on. I recommend checking out the movie!
