Critics Consensus

Like its augmented protagonist, Upgrade's old-fashioned innards get a high-tech boost -- one made even more powerful thanks to sharp humor and a solidly well-told story.

Draec M

Good idea, not badly presented, decent acting, plot twist at the end. Solid sci-fi, dark, violent, with cyberpunk vibe, but don't expect deep considerations of AI and humanity. Fun to watch. Good visuals. Great action. Very atmospheric music. It's a good thing I caught the screening on TV.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It is one of the best movies I've seen, everything it does it does perfectly, dialog, the characters, motivations everything. A must watch, if you haven't seen it you should.

A film where it does too many twists and turns that it leaves plot holes at the end of the story but its still a thorough entertaining watch.

I loved this movie from the beginning to the end. Thank you so much for giving us this kind of masterpiece. And the other one is the OST of the movie. Damn, that hits different.

It's funny, violent and full of ideas.

Irish Times

Jed Palmer's excellent 1980s-alike score would alone justify the admission price. Good, clean, gory fun.

Rated: 3/5

It takes just the right number of liberties with what you can actually believe in.

Leigh Whannell’s utopian-future horror is daft but entirely in on the joke.

Deep Focus Review

Even though it plays like a 90-minute episode of Black Mirror, it would be a pretty good episode.
