Dark Asset is a 2023 American action thriller film written and directed by Michael Winnick and starring Byron Mann, Helena Mattsson and Robert Patrick.

[1] John Doe is an ex-special forces soldier being subjugated to a secret government program to be implanted with a chip to be made super human with exponentially increased mental capabilities.

He is in an interrogation room doing exercises with overturned cards identifying the animal names with absolute precision being observed by Dr. Cain and assistants Vivian, Sarah and Alex.

He escapes, driving in a Lamborghini to an upscale hotel cabaret, meeting the striking Jane, claiming to be a dissatisfied office employee there for a business conference awaiting a friend, offering her his vehicle if she will spend the time sitting and listening to him tell his story.

[3] Salvatore Cento of MovieWeb awarded the film two stars out five, writing, "While the initial premise and promisingly dangerous introduction do indeed tease an action-packed ride synonymous with other averagely rated entries in the genre, everything Dark Asset has to offer is instead slowed down when the overall mystery of the movie is introduced.

"[2] Phil Hoad of The Guardian also awarded the film two stars out of five, saying that "despite its attempts to juice up its cyborg setup with some old-fashioned body heat, Dark Asset ends up more smarmy than sexy.
