Shouldn’t it be called “Downgrade?” It’s fairly juvenile and mean, but it’s hard to mention Logan Marshall-Green without describing him as the poor man’s Tom Hardy, a dig we’re pretty sure we’re not the only ones to use. But hey, give the “Prometheus” actor a chance, right? Blumhouse, the producers of “Get Out” and “The Purge,“is giving the actor that chance in “Upgrade,” which is basically Blumhouse’s take on the hyper-violent genre film, in a film not called “The Purge.”
The movie’s not out til June 1, but reviews are already out there. “No need to see ‘Upgrade’ when you’ve already seen it 1,000 times,” EW recently wrote in their review. Here’s the synopsis, but the gist is “Upgrade” is set in a near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when a self-identified technophobe gets his world turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem.
UPGRADE is a thrilling and hyper violent vision of the future from the producers of GET OUT and THE PURGE, and the creator of SAW and INSIDIOUS. After his wife is killed during a brutal mugging that also leaves him paralyzed, Grey Trace (Logan Marshall Green, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, PROMETHEUS) is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experimental cure that will “upgrade” his body. The cure – an Artificial Intelligence implant called STEM – gives Grey physical abilities beyond anything experienced and the ability to relentlessly claim vengeance against those who murdered his wife and left him for dead.
“Upgrade” is directed by actor/director Leigh Whannell (known for directing “Insidious: Chapter 3” and acting roles in several “Saw” movies, the “Insidious” movies and more) and co-stars Richard Anastasios and Rosco Campbell. Here’s the red band and green band trailer in case you’re one of those people inclined to get as much Logan Marshall-Green as you can.
