review by
Mike Haberfelner

In the not too distant future whem androids look indistinguishable from humans and act almost like real persons, Nick's (Michele Morrone) wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) suffers a heart attack and thus is hospitalized, on the waiting list for a heart transplant - and it doesn't take Nick long to realize juggling his job and taking care of his two kids, young Isla (Matilda Firth) and infant Max (Jude Greenstein) is just too much for any one person. So he gets an android nanny, Alice (Megan Fox), to help him around the house. And at first, this seems a perfect solution, Alice's not only perfect at running the household better than him at cooking, she also knows how to handle kids, and the kids really take to her. However, in guessing all her primary user Nick's wishes, she soon oversteps her boundaries, like when she seduces him (even if he fantasizes about Maggie while they're at it), or when she kills a former co-worker (Andrew Whipp) of Nick's he has had a fall-out with behind his back. Now that all is bad enough, but it gets worse when Maggie has finally had her heart transplant and is coming home, and Alice makes a series of mis-interpretations of how to best serve Nick's interests - that ultimately include plans to get rid of his wife and children Alice perceives as a burden to him. Thing is, once Alice has made a plan based on her logic, it's hard to dissuade her from it, and she's near indestructible on top of that ...

 

Now first and foremost, Megan Fox is incredibly creepy in this movie, as her nigh-perfect looks clashing with her intentionally emotionless performace really carry  the story. But that's not to say she's the only reason to watch this one, as Subservience is also based on a pretty intelligent script that goes beyond just antagonizing AI creatures, and the rather explosive finale aside, gives them in general and Alice especially also some heart. Now add to that a subtle directorial effort that moves along at a leisurly pace to help the story to grow rather than hit the audience over the head with a message, and you've got yourself a pretty cool piece of genre cinema that's well worth a watch.

 

Subservience will be on EST September 13th and TVOD from September 20th in the UK from Vertigo Releasing.
