Set in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when Grey, a self-identified technophobe, has his world turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem. Fantastic movie Excellent Plot fabulous acting We enjoyed every moment….. I agree with many of the reviews which describe it as an updated Robocop.<br/><br/>I nearly left the theater in the beginning as the futuristic start seemed to unfold very slowly. The plot got better but I can't rate it with the superlatives used by others. This may be an age thing. Acting by the main character was solid, but many of the others were just ok.<br/><br/>The movie was well paced once it got started. It had some good twists. Filming was good with believable special effects. It had a bit of gore but they did a decent job of weaving it into the plot. I think they did an outstanding job for a low budget movie. So if you rated solely on the bang for the buck, it rates a 9. But I look at the overall movie and whether it wowed me. It didn't. . Upgrade is a brutish, efficient and well-executed slice of cyberpunk action horror with a silly streak.
