Featured reviews
There are innumerable movies with huge budgets that simply fall flat, and Upgrade, with a Budget of around $5,000,000, which doesn't cover the cost of catering on some of these huge budgeted flops, honestly looked like it cost a lot more than it actually did.
Intelligent script, good action, very few unnecessary scenes, and though I thought it was sure to let me down, a very good ending.
And although I have seen much of Logan Marshall-Green's work and was never a huge fan, he does a very good job here.
Recommended.
The accident really does change the movie up, and the tone, it really is well worth a look, the ending may come as a surprise for some.
Very good, 8/10.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the fight scenes, the camera often tracks Grey so that he remains in the middle of frame. According to director Leigh Whannell, this was achieved by hiding a phone somewhere on actor Logan Marshall-Green, which the cameras could then pair to and follow with as much accuracy as possible.
- Goofs(at around 33 mins) Stem asks Grey to hold the drawn tattoo in front of his eyes in order to read it for him. However, Stem already has the picture (since he has drawn it) in his memory, so there was no logical reason to re-scan it again for the purpose of reading it.
- Quotes
Grey Trace: See, you thought I was a cripple but you didn't know that I'm a ninja.
Stem: While I am state of the art, I am not a ninja.
- Crazy creditsIn lieu of text, the production companies and title are instead narrated by an artificial female voice, represented visually by sound waves.
