iBoy (Adam Randall, 2017)

Netflix continues to churn out new productions, and the results are mixed. This sci-fi/urban crime blend tries for novelty, as a boy shot while witnessing a burglary in a housing estate develops the ability to tap into any electrical system and uses that to wreak justice on the perpetrators. It could have worked, if the execution wasn't so half-baked with its barrage of 'cyberspace' made to look cool and implausible developments - scarcely more credible than the Scarlett Johansson mess Lucy - and some of the usual suspects of the modern lo-fi British gangster film weren't shoehorned in to give the lad something to fight against. Basically, it's adolescent fare for an undemanding public.
