Good movie, stupid plot.
Everything about this movie - acting, cinematography, atmosphere, set, setting, special effects and action is good. But the plot is stupid. (The action is stupid. But it's portrayed well).
Here's the plot. Scientists create a baby girl, who grows up to be a murderous psychopath. And --- here's the kicker --- they are so dedicated, and in love with "Morgan" (the murderous psychopath) that they protect her to the end. And take little or no precautions to protect themselves from her killing them. Even though she murdering them one by one. It's really stupid.
Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) says terminating bad results from projects is what she does. Well, she doesn't do it very well. Everybody dies one by one. She gets beat up by Morgan twice. Apparently she never watched a YouTube video of cops using the pit maneuver. She tells her love interest after getting beat up the first time by Morgan, "I'm taking your car". Why? You are not bringing any weapons? She gets run into a tree. Morgan gets away again.
There are lots of big names in this movie. Kate Mara, Ana Taylor Joy, Paul Giamatti, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michelle Yeoh . . .
I personally thought the movie was too insistent that something funny was going on with the mysterious music playing immediately throughout the movie, and all the characters always acting weirdly.
I had little sympathy for the characters who die. Except for maybe Skip (Lee's love interest). Because they are all stupid idiots. Even Skip. Skip brings a rifle to stop Morgan. But after she beats up Lee, he walks right up to her says, "No, stop". Allowing her to take the rifle away from him. We can all see that coming a mile away.
If you can laugh off the stupid plot, maybe you can enjoy this movie. Because everything else is done well. But it's stupid.
4 out of 10 for me.
