Critics Consensus

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.

It's funny, violent and full of ideas.

3/5

Jed Palmer's excellent 1980s-alike score would alone justify the admission price. Good, clean, gory fun.

It takes just the right number of liberties with what you can actually believe in.

3/5

It’s a rather run of the mill revenge story on paper, but the way it blends sci-fi elements into this common narrative is a welcome mix up.

Leigh Whannell’s utopian-future horror is daft but entirely in on the joke.

3/4

Even though it plays like a 90-minute episode of Black Mirror, it would be a pretty good episode.

I'm honestly not sure how this movie managed to fly under my radar until now. It's a style and genre that I truly love. I've always been a fan of tech noir and cyber punk. I feel the movie was executed flawlessly. Excellent pacing, set pieces, acting, story, and even effects. While they are minimal, that's exactly what I feel was needed. Too often big budget movies are all flash and no substance, well, this movie has a hell of a lot of substance and just the right amount of flash. I'm thankful it was low budget because focusing on effects, etc. would only detract from it. As the movie progressed I was truly afraid that it would loose me at the end like so many other budget friendly flicks but thankfully, I was wrong. Great from start to finish and it's true what I've heard, it's just like a long, well executed episode of Black Mirror.

A mugging leaves Grey Trace paralyzed and his wife dead. A billionaire inventor offers Grey an artificial intelligence device that will give him the ability to walk and more. He uses this upgrade for vengeance. These fight scenes are amazing. You absolutely understand what a cybernetic fight looks like. Logan Marshal-Green is multitasking in this performance. You're watching his face do one thing while his body is doing another. You can clearly see who's in control of his body. You know how this revenge story goesï¿ 1/2 1/2"you don't. UPGRADE manages to take a genre we know and gives us a whole new thing.

Fun, but mostly predictable Sci-Fi. Feels like the first Terminator movie. So for that reason it's worth a look.

Great movie. Super interesting. Great concept. Great execution. Wonderful twist.

Wow. Just wow. Trying to predict the outcome of this movie was a desperate call for attention. Amazed and loved it

Not well done, but the action and violence crowd will eat this up. You don't have to think to watch this one.
