Dealing with Artificial Intelligence is rather common. I watched "Orphan", it deals with a girl with a genetic disorder. In "Morgan", it deals with a girl who is artificially made. During the conversation with a doctor(Jennifer Jason Leigh), she would stab her in the eye. Morgan(Anya Taylor-Joy) appears to be a teenager girl, but she's actually 5 years old. She very intelligent. Her only dark side that she is unpredictable. Cold, aloof, and violent she responded by attacking anyone. Lee Weathers(Kate Mera) travels to the institute to examine Morgan. She does not perceive Morgan as a girl, only as an "it". Since Morgan was more successful than the others made, and she's just like Morgan, COLD! This movie could have been better made. Some parts were just too common. Needed more action. Too much killing. The script is weak. Needs more impact. Too obvious. 2 out of 5 stars

Teenager Morgan lives in a secure facility and is under review for injuries she has inflicted.The story here has two elements - one is the mystery of Morgan's origin, and the other is what will happen to her at the hands of the operative sent to sanction her. Both plot lines are involving.Anya Taylor-Joy continues to impress - she commands the screen well and has a pleasing air of cold implacability while still conveying a sympathetic sense of vulnerability.And Kate Mara is a strong, if less sympathetic, presence too.This film worked well for me, and contained some interesting questions about the nature of self and humanity.

This movie could have been great, but opportunity was missed at every turn. Good actors also but so much was lacking in the story. The new "it" girl was so smart and clever and she could have used her new "emotional abilities" to manipulate everyone but they never gave her a chance. She knew stuff about the others but they didn't exploit that. The differences between her and the "old" it model also were not emphasized in the final scenes. Very disappointing.

Surprised by low score. Did it entertain? Yes. Was it worth watching? Yes. Could there've been better emotional interactions / dialogue? Yes.
