In a near-future where synths, sorry, sparks are part of the everyday workforce, a stressed husband with two young children and a hospitalised wife awaiting a heart transplant acquires the latest model of an AI housekeeper, Alice, who becomes self-aware and overly-attached to the husband with deadly results. It is an unashamed mash-up of Season 1 of TV's Humans and Megan, with a dash of The Terminator and even Fatal Attraction thrown in for good measure. Whilst the film looks glossy and is shot nicely, with the eye-candy casting of Megan Fox as Alice and Michele Morrone (365 Days) as the husband, a sequel-baiting ending plus an ever-present nagging feel of over-familiarity, the film is functional but delivers adequately on the premise.
