2019's "Child's Play" reboot tries its hardest, and indeed has a handful of fun moments that set it apart from the 1988 classic of the same name. Mark Hamill in particular makes a stellar turn as our new Chucky, and is easily the highlight of the film. But on the whole, the film pales in comparison to the riskier, creepier original, and it often fails to deliver on its own premise. Many of the new concepts introduced feel poorly developed, and several major sub-plots go absolutely nowhere. Combined with a strangely dull pace, and it's just not as much fun as it ought be. In the end, it's just another mediocre reboot that will likely be forgotten within a year. 2 out of 5.

Deliberate mistake: In the handyman's room, we see he has cameras secretly set up in the various apartments to spy on neighbors. But the placement of the camera spying on Mrs. Norris' dining room is kind-of ridiculous. It appears to be sitting out in the open on her dining room table. Sure, the handyman is a pervert, but there's no way he could get a camera onto such a spot without it being totally obvious.

Question: After removing the safety protocols from Chucky, why did the employee kill himself?

Answer: The employee's bosses overworked and abused him. He was depressed, had emotional issues, and probably felt his life was hopeless. Before committing suicide, he wanted retaliation against the company for making him so miserable, so he disabled the safety protocols on the "Buddi" doll's computer chip. Mostly, it's a convenient plot point to explain how Chucky came about.
