"He's got a knife!"
"I can see that. We've got a knife too."
"I can see that. We've got a knife too."
It is always a joy to see a B-movie punching well above its weight, with Upgrade delivering a lively, well-written, punchy and wry viewing experience. Following a self-drive car malfunction and accident, technophobe Grey Trace (played with wonderfully gruff relish by Logan Marshall-Green) is left paralysed, but following a secret tech-augmented AI implant that effectively 'drives' his body, he sets out to avenge his wife's murder. The near-future world is carefully and effectively drawn, Marshall-Green is terrific value in the strong action sequences and in his delivery of great deadpan humour, and the whole film barrels along in a very entertaining way.
