MORGAN (2016) **1/2 Kate Mara, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rose Leslie, Michael Yare, Toby Jones, Chris Sullivan, Boyd Holbrook, Vinette Robinson, Michelle Yeoh, Brian Cox, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Giamatti. Sci-fi hodgepodge blend of Species, Frankenstein, Splice and even Blade Runner (that explains since director Luke Scott, making his big-screen debut, is son of Ridley, the film's executive producer): when a corporate science experiment goes awry efficiency expert Mara is sent to investigate dissevering the synthetic creation (ethereal Taylor-Joy) has begun to grow in ways never expected - including feelings beyond control. Well made with a decent cast the shortcomings are that it is altogether familiar in its genre tropes and the big reveal is pedestrian at best.
