Like its augmented protagonist, Upgrade's old-fashioned innards get a high-tech boost -- one made even more powerful thanks to sharp humor and a solidly well-told story.

"Upgrade" could have been just a B-picture, albeit an expensively-produced one, but [Leigh] Whannell is as serious about his social commentary as he is about entertaining us. October 17, 2019 | Full Review…

Upgrade is some diverting if unexceptional entertainment. I mean, consider this alone: a 95-minute sci-fi action movie. Upgrade does indeed hail from a simpler time. September 26, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

With unbelievable action sequences, jaw-dropping bloodshed, and a surprisingly unique climax, Upgrade is sci-fi body horror at its most dynamic and raw. If John Wick was rewired to star in a superior version of Hardcore Henry, you'd get Upgrade. September 1, 2019 | Rating: 4.25/5 | Full Review…

A brutal and brilliant film. Whannell has made an extraordinaryly compelling near future vision, with hilarious violence and fine performances. This is the film you'll be telling everyone to see this year. June 4, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Combining sci-fi smarts and grindhouse gore, this retro-futuristic thriller sees Australian writer-director Leigh Whannell deliver a heady dose of cyberpunk paranoia and some jolting shots of pulp-movie violence. May 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Upgrade has a lot of interesting ideas with a mixture of Ex-Machina and Jason Bourne but the script felt amateurish and didn't really work for me. February 26, 2019 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…
