Review of Upgrade (2018) by Skohl — 07 Mar 2019
I want to point out, because it might not be obvious from the promotional material, this is a CYBERPUNK action-thriller! And it's a good one, convincingly depicting ghettoes filled with the disgruntled lower class juxtaposed with futuristic tech like automation, holographics, AI, and robotic prosthetics.
That last one in particular is an important theme in Upgrade, which should thrill those who've played the newer Deus Ex titles because this movie does it better. It's impressive worldbuilding that makes me want a sequel.
The bad part about this movie: It's twisty in ways that are easy to predict, and it's not that deep despite being a convincing world. However it is very fun and worth watching.
