Review of Morgan

Morgan (2016)
6/10
Good concept and a good atmosphere, but needed a better script
21 February 2024
Morgan's concept is great. Its execution is lacking.

There's a few scenes in this movie where it feels like the director and writer thought they were really doing something deep, but in reality it often was just shallow and bordering on silly. This is Morgan's biggest issue because this could have been a deep, thought provoking movie if they had have fleshed out those scenes a little more.

Otherwise, it's a decent low budget sci-fi thriller. The action scenes aren't exactly groundbreaking, but they're passable. The tension is real and it doesn't get derailed, and it takes itself seriously enough to avoid any unnecessary comic relief.

There's also not really any fat to this movie. Every scene in it needs to be there; it's not forced to be 2+ hours long like a lot of other somewhat recent movies. Really, if the script was better, this probably would have at least a solid cult following.
