Upgrade 2018 was pretty damn cool

Here's another Blumhouse movie. They're the lead distributors of mainstream horror/exploitation these days, and sometimes, they do all right. Upgrade stars Logan Marshall Green in an actual starring role. This guy usually plays bit parts like in Prometheus and Spiderman Homecoming, but they finally gave him more to work with, and he nails it.

He plays a quadriplegic who gets "upgraded" with a spinal chip as he searches for his wife's killer, and the rest is just cool fight scenes as he does his thing. Now, if you've watched the trailer, you can pick this movie apart beat for beat. I still enjoyed it though, because it had some cool, violent sci-fi shennanigans, but it wasn't CGI shit.

It kinda reminded me of Black Mirror in a way, because they do these kind of plots all the time. This was a bit more hardcore though.

Good shit. A fun ride.
