This is what I can remember, I'm not even sure if this movie exists or if I'm just misremembering something. Its a movie where the main character (Maybe has some information someone doesn't want to get out) accidentally (or maybe on purpose by a malicious actor) gets their brain transfered to a (robot? or maybe genetically modified?) worker who's life span only lasts so long before they (genetically? mechanically?) degrade, and the main character has to find a way out of the situation kinda like find a new body is X amount of time.

I'm not sure if that's most of the story or only part of the story of the movie.

This movie has been stuck in my head for a while and I can never remember what it is. I ask y'all if this sounds familiar to any of yall.

Please let me know if you know the name of the movie this sounds like. Thank you.

EDIT: The movie was Xchange (2000). Thank you everyone for your help.

No its not blade runner for sure, I've seen blade runner both of them a couple times now. Classics, but not what I'm thinking of.

The worker is like a product model, there are lots of other worker bodies like this one I think. They are like low budget crap bodies.
