Anon
Set in a near-future world where there is no privacy, ignorance or anonymity, our private memories are recorded and crime almost ceases to exist. In trying to solve a series of unsolved murders, Sal Frieland stumbles onto a young woman who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realizes it may not be the end of crime but the beginning. Known only as 'The Girl', Sal must find her before he becomes the next victim.

Excellent but underrated film
A Masterpiece!
The acting in this movie is really good.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
The story plays out as modern day discount Ayn Rand with predictable plot, pretentious monologues and flat characters. The one redeeming factor is the filmography - it's an absolutely gorgeous movie. It's a real shame the script feels like it was written by an anon from 4chan.
Most Netflix films have great premise but have lousy actors but Anon has Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried, and yet their performances are as wooden as amateur actors. The idea of technology invading our privacy is not new but can still be interesting, just look at Black Mirror. All those nude scenes, sex scenes or blood spattering scenes can't cover the paper thin storyline. There is almost nothing on the background on the two main characters, or three if you count Mark O'Brien as well. Their actions/reactions seem forced and arbitrary as I can't feel for them. I just wished Netflix has spent more efforts in the script instead of marketing.
Having recently rewatched the amazing Children of Men, I wondered what had happened to the talented and charming star. Unfortunately, one answer is this flat and unconvincing made on-the cheap science fiction film. It's clever enough, as to be expected from Andrew Niccol - but he too is a long way from The Truman Show and Gattaca.
We have seen many movies on AI {artificial intelligence} getting out of control This one is different and better - not kid stuff sci-fi but seriou adult science fiction.And contemporary - they can already track you by your cell phone - this movie takes it one step further - And gets into what can go wrong - realistic and contemporary view of what the future might hold.And it has a very interesting whodunit and why type twist at the end.Bored with the same old same old sci fi movies - Try this one!
