Morgan is a bioengineered “person” created by an unnamed corporation. The reason for her creation doesn’t become apparent until toward the end of the movie. Kate Mara plays a trouble-shooter sent by Morgan’s creators to see if money they are spending to keep her in a top-secret facility is worth it. Unfortunately for her handlers, who include Paul Giamatti, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Toby Jones and Rose Leslie, she may not be as harmless as they thought. This movie comes across as a hybred of Ex Machina and Teminator. My husband and I guessed the plot twist pretty early on so we were not surprised by the big “reveal” at the end. I would have loved to see more exploration of the ethics and consequences of what the scientists in this movie do; instead the second half of the movie is comitted to lots of violence and bloodshed. My advise is to skip this movie and watch Hell or High Water instead.
