If you've been randomly scrolling through any streaming service while blindfolded and pushed play after scrolling for 30 seconds, you've probably just clicked on a movie about a helpful AI gone bad. With hundreds of movies following this basic story, Netflix's latest streaming, submission, Struggling to stand out. It happened thanks to the performance of Megan Fox.
That's right, she just praised Megan Fox for her acting. Fox is back to work with the director of the surprising thriller Until death For the movie, and I mean this as a compliment, but she plays a massive, emotionless robot.
Megan Fox was born to play an evil robot
From the moment you press play Dependencyyou know where things are going, and the first half doesn't contain any changes to the classic formula that we've come to expect. Michelle Morrone, from Netflix Erotic excitement 365 The series revolves around Nick, a husband and father trying to keep the family together while his wife Maggie, played by Madelena Zima (who played Grace, the youngest Sheffield in the series). governessin case you need to feel old today) is in the hospital having heart surgery. Fox plays Alice, an advanced sim, the new robot who takes over the workforce as a nanny/domestic maid to help while the family recovers.
If you guessed that Alice is slowly becoming more and more evil, congratulations, you've seen at least one other movie before. In this case, she is trying to replace Maggie.
If the film had stuck to the “accident” sequences around the house, it could have been more interesting, but instead, Dependency He tries to do a little too much. There's a subplot about Nick's work dealing with angry workers over the introduction of the Sims, a truly bizarre scene where Alice seduces Nick using Maggie's voice, and a wild tease for more potential films that undercut all the tense moments of an all-powerful robot killer on the loose. Inside the couple's home.
Megan Fox is great, but the rest of the movie…
Although Megan Fox plays the evil AI, Michele Morrone gives the most dead-on performance in the film Dependency. It's weird that it kind of works because Nick's not supposed to be a great guy, at least, I don't think he is. With several exciting thrillers under his belt, Morrone has become the equivalent of Netflix Michael DouglasAnd when he shows up in anything, you know he's playing scum.
With a different male lead and more focus on the parts of the film that really work, Dependency It could have been a huge hit in the future, but in its current state it's decent My neighbor A movie when there's nothing else left to watch. on Rotten tomatoesthe critics were not kind; Out of 30 reviews at the time of this writing, the rating is rotten at 50 percent, and the fan rating, out of more than 250 reviews, isn't much better, at 53 percent. However, it is also the number one movie on Netflix in the US in its first weekend on the service.
Submission is 30 years late
if Dependency He was HBO Released in 1994, it would be a hit. Unfortunately, it's 2024, and except for a few terrifying moments, all thanks to Megan Fox's decision to go for the role of a killer robot, it's all but forgotten today.
Submission Review the result
If you really want to watch another evil AI movie before M3GAN 2.0 Come out, you're doing worse. If nothing else, Fox seems to be embracing her new career as a streaming movie villain. She's willing to take some risks, but maybe next time, she'll have a more exciting script.
