Box Office: Made for $8 million and making exactly that figure back to date, Morgan is neither a bust nor a success.

Verdict: Ridley Scott's son Luke directs this promising but ultimately disappointing sci-fi thriller in the vein of Ex-Machina. Though Anya Taylor-Joy gives a remarkable performance as the title character and Paul Giamatti practically steals the movie in his single scene, there's ultimately little in the way of a satisfying payoff, what with the third act devolving into a slasher movie with an hilariously predictable twist ending.

Also, for as good as the cinemtography is, the fight scenes are horrendously edited, ending up more headache-inducing than exciting. Directorial inexperience was a big part of the problem here, but the script was plenty muddled too.
