SUBSERVIENCE

Nick (Michele Morrone) needs some assistance. He has 2 small kids at home and a wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) in the hospital. As such, he's the only bread winner and with AI robots taking over jobs from humans, Nick can't afford to loose his either. One day while out shopping, Nick loses his oldest child Isla (Matilda Firth) who is quickly returned to him by Alice (Megan Fox), an AI robot. Isla talks Nick into bringing Alice home with them to help around the house. Everything is fine at first until Alice conjures up feelings for Nick, beginning to seduce him and wants to replace Maggie. The story is absolutely ludicrous and goes well beyond the suspension of disbelief. The character development is shallow, the low budget comes across onscreen and Fox comes off at times too lifelike. If that's the intention than spot on but as a robot, she should share some nonhuman characteristics. The only one she does share is she never blinks in any of her scenes. Sometimes you take a chance on a film and it pleasantly surprises you; other times you take a chance on a film and you get exactly what you anticipated 30 minutes in. This falls into the latter category and this should be avoided. 4/10
