Just because a movie hits No. 1 on Netflix doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth your time, and “Subservience” is a prime example. This sci-fi thriller starring Megan Fox quickly claimed the top spot on the streaming service on December 9, but its lackluster reception tells a different story.
Set in the near future, “Subservience” follows Nick (Michele Morrone), a struggling father who forms an uneasy bond with Alice (Megan Fox), a lifelike, AI-powered android. Living with his wife Maggie (Madeline Zima), who is waiting for a heart transplant, Nick faces mounting pressures at home. In an attempt to manage the chaos, he brings Alice into the household as a robotic assistant, and while she starts off as a helpful addition, her behavior soon takes a disturbing turn.
