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.

Apart from a few flimsy special effects...this is a satire that cleaves dangerously close to reality at times. August 30, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Upgrade is as fluid and exhilarating as anything the Wachowskis signed their names to in the days when they were brothers: the kind of nifty, sometimes nasty surprise our multiplexes sorely need. August 30, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The fight sequences are refreshingly odd in their conception, with Grey an awkward puppet to his own kickass moves. August 29, 2018 | Full Review…

Upgrade is much more than the sum of its parts, is as enjoyable as hell and taps into all of those innovative sci-fi movies that you already love without being a mere copycat. December 1, 2019 | Full Review…

"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…
