The problem with being a ridiculously accomplished soldier is that there's always the danger you'll be cloned and turned into an AI weapon by your own daughter one day.

That's the Black Mirror-meets-Terminator-esque concept behind Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho's new dystopian sci-fi thriller, JUNG_E, which looks like it'll grapple themes of artificial intelligence ethics while also having a whole bunch of kickass action scenes.

The Netflix film stars Kim Hyun-joo and Ryu Kyung-soo as JUNG_E and her daughter Sang-Hoon, and features the final onscreen appearance from actor Kang Soo-young, who died last year aged 55.

JUNG_E is streaming on Netflix from Jan. 20.
