The CinePearl Take
Leigh Whannell’s direction keeps the momentum relentless, but it’s Logan Marshall‑Green’s dead‑pan performance that anchors the film’s absurd premise. The pacing is a roller‑coaster, never allowing a breath before the next upgrade, while the underlying theme—our dependence on technology—hits a surprisingly resonant note amid the mayhem.
