Upgrade

Grey Trace, a technophobe in a utopian near-future when computers control nearly everything – from cars to crime-surveillance – is paralysed in a freak mugging that leaves his wife dead. When a billionaire technologist offers him an experimental paralysis cure – an implanted computer chip called STEM – Grey finds that the chip has a voice and a mind of its own. Together Grey and STEM embark on a mission to avenge his wife.

Critic Reviews:

• " It's funny, violent and full of ideas. " – Karl Quinn

• " It's still a small, silly movie and there's nothing particularly novel or even of the moment about its technosceptic stance on machines, but as a genre exercise, it's a fun ride. " – Simran Hans

• " Whatever the case, Upgrade has enough extra features and add-ons to seem like much more than just another pre-programmed revenge thriller. " – Geoffrey Macnab
