"Upgrade"

 2018 * R * 1h 40m  Who doesn't love a good revenge movie? Well, this one is part old-fashioned revenge flick. Part "Blade Runner." But 100% excitement and action right until the closing credits. 

Set in the near future where technology basically runs ever aspect of human's lives, Grey (Logan Marshall-Green), lives in his own world. He's an auto mechanic who loves working on old-fashioned muscle cars. One day, after delivering a car to Eron (Harrison Gilbertson), a tech guru, he and his wife get into an accident in their auto-driven vehicle. Some thugs rob them, kill his wife and he's shot and paralyzed. 

As luck would have it, Eron, is not only the head of a cutting edge company, he's developed a special chip, which can reconnect the nerves in his body to his brain. After surgery, when he's miraculously restored to normal, he goes down the revenge path. And what a journey he takes. While he's offing his assailants, a cop begins to get suspicious and he becomes a suspect. As an interesting twist, the chip installed in his neck can communicate with him and helps him on his way. But this also leads to some interesting plot twists, and an ending you'll never see coming.
