[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Upgraded?
Rewatched Upgraded last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Upgraded?
Look, I wanted to love Upgraded. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Upgraded is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Upgraded would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
