I doubt many of you have seen it, but Anon https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/anon was a shockingly poor film by Andrew Niccol, director/screenwriter of Gattaca, a movie I love. The premise is solid enough, in the future everything people see is augmented and recorded, and someone is hacking perceptions to murder people. But the movie is awful. Scenes have no tension and anything a little interesting gets repeated until it’s not. In one scene, we see someone have their vision hijacked so they are seeing through their killers eyes. They’re not scared. They’re just confused and then dead. It lacks tension. And that exact same scenario plays out at least two more times. The whole movie plays out like someone is applying a five paragraph essay formula to screenwriting. This is how the detective does his future job. Example 1. Example 2. Example 3. This is the bad guy murdering people. Murder 1. Murder 2. Murder 3 but with naked lesbians. The fact that Clive Owen plays everything like he’s the coolest makes it even more embarrassing.
