Upgrade

... better and sassier than many of the films it takes inspiration from.

...an unusually patient, detailed and visceral cyber-thriller...

...as a genre exercise, it’s a fun ride.

...a technological upgrade to Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’...

Descartes might have coined the whole notion of a mind-body split, but could never have foreseen it pitched, for midnight movie crowds, as such crazy spectacle.

If it sometimes lapses into genre clichés, Upgrade still delivers on the action front. Just turn your phone off before you go into the cinema, lest it gets ideas.
