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.

The Age (Australia)

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

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

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

Source (Scotland)

It’s a rather run of the mill revenge story on paper, but the way it blends sci-fi elements into this common narrative is a welcome mix up.

Rated: 3/5

Olly Richards

Sunday Times (UK)

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.

Rated: 3/4

IMDB was showing a 5 million budget. If that's true they stretched those dollars hard as algebra. Terrific twists, characters, and original story combine smoothly. I caught myself just letting this show run without analyzing like I usually do Loved it, watching it again soon for sure.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
