Upgrade

More style over substance, which is expected form Blumhouse who makes a lot of horror films for young adults like Truth or Dare.
They bring a little of that horror style to this Sci-Fi Action thriller.
Set in a near future (cross fingers) where a man becomes a quadriplegic do to an assassination attempt that took his wife. He then becomes a boy genius’ test subject for a microchip that reconnects his spine, contrils his body so he can walk, than gets a mind of it’s own, which the man uses to help him find out who killed his wife.
I feel like I’ve seen this plot a few times done for TV shows, but I think the reason they made it into a movie is because of the dark element they added to the story. It’s like a very sleek episode of Black Mirror overall (but not as good as Black Mirror, nothing is).
Otherwise, it’s a cool tale inside a cool world starring a dude who reminds me of Tom Hardy for some reason.
Sponge worthy
