Review of MORGAN
Revue of MORGAN
Release Date: September 2, 2016
Genre: Thriller/Sci-Fi
Directed By: Luke Scott
Lee (Kate Mara) is a risk management officer sent by the corporate head office of a private bio engineering company to investigate the attack by an artificially engineered child (Anya Taylor-Joy) on one of her/its care givers. When Lee arrives the facility, she discoveres that things aren’t exactly as they seem…
First of all, they should not have called this movie a horror movie because there was not one scary scene in the whole 90 minutes of the movie. The poster and the tag line “Don’t let it out” are rather deceptive to what this movie really is- and that is a deep and dark but thought provoking movie. The producers weren’t comfortable in their own skin and probably wanted to pass it off as a thriller cum horror movie to appeal to a wider audience.
Notwithstanding the attempted deception, the movie was quite entertaining, they even found a way to put in some pretty decent fight sequences and even though I suspected the plot resolution, it was still quite pleasing.
Anya Taylor-Joy’s performance as Morgan was really convincing and kind of reminded me of Alicia Vikander’s performance in Ex- Machina. And Just like Ex- Machina, Morgan also asks the question of the morality or otherwise of Artificial Intelligence and extensive genetic engineering. It asks if we humans are ready to explore that aspect with its attendant legal, religious, social and moral consequences.
MORGAN may not appeal to a lot of audiences but it’s still a creepy but thought provoking movie with a wicked plot twist and earns a 6.0/10 rating on myawesome-o-metre.
