A film with little to say

ANON is yet another Hollywood thriller that’s cutting edge when it comes to modern technology, this time concerning surveillance and its implications in the 21st century world. Thus it shines a light on modern practices which are undoubtedly worrying to some. Unfortunately that’s about all it has to say, as there’s virtually zero storyline apart from a mild little murder mystery whose solution turns out to be mundane, to say the least. Clive Owen seems to be too old for the lead role – the years haven’t been kind to him – although Amanda Seyfried fares better as the femme fatale. However, the plot and scripting are far too generic to be of any real depth or interest.

We know who you are

Anon is a futuristic sci-fi thriller in the mould of Minority Report.

Sal Frieland (Clive Owen) is a cop who solves crimes by reviewing people’s memories that exist in the ether. Files are available and reviewed, this is a society where people have lost their privacy.

When a series of murders are uncovered, it seems there is an anonymous hacker who is manipulating the point of view of the victims and their memories. Sal figures it is a mysterious woman (Amanda Seyfried) who society has no record of.

Writer/director Andrew Niccol creates an interesting world but there is too much reading of small text on screen that scrolls so fast you quickly give up on it. The film loses its impetus once Sal and the woman meet up, the twist was not unexpected as I reckoned their would be an interested third person involved.

sci-fi

It’s a world where everybody’s POV is being recorded and accessed through a vast database called The Ether. Solving crimes has become easy for police investigator Sal Frieland (Clive Owen) until a series of killings where all the recordings have been hacked and corrupted. Charles Gattis (Colm Feore) is his supervisor. Suspicion falls on a mysterious woman (Amanda Seyfried) who is able to erase her image from the database.

This is pure old fashion sci-fi. It’s been stripped down. There are no car chases. Even the sets are unadorned which makes sense when one’s vision can be altered anyways. This is reminiscent of reading an old sci-fi story. It’s a fascinating world but only for true sci-fi fans. It’s a black and white movie in a world of color. The thrills are drained from it but one can see it. There is one section where Sal’s vision is being constantly corrupted which could have been a great CGI action sequence. Although I wouldn’t likely to accept it since the audience knows it to be a fake. This will divide the audience between those who like old sci-fi stories from those who like action sci-fi.
