Synchronic (2019)
7/10
Drama With Sci-Fi Elements
25 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Synchronic", starring Jamie Dornan-the Fifty Shades movies, The Fall_tv; Anthony Mackie-Point Blank_2019, the Falcon in the Marvel movies & tv show; Katie Aselton-Legion_tv, Our Idiot Brother and Ally Ioannides-Into the Badlands_tv, Parenthood_tv. This is a hard movie to classify. It is basically a drama with sci_fi elements. Jamie & Anthony are paramedics working in New Orleans when they start coming across some mysterious deaths. One person is found stabbed with a sword, one is found completely burned and another is found at the bottom of an elevator shaft with his broken and scattered body parts all around him. Jamie & Anthony soon discover that all the victims had taken a new psychedelic designer drug called Synchronic-maybe there's a connection to the deaths? Katie plays Jamie's wife and Ally is his daughter. Ally turns up missing and guess what she took right before she disappeared? Anthony discovers clues that he thinks will lead him to her, but doesn't think anyone would believe him so he records what he is doing, in case it doesn't work, at least someone will know what he attempted to do. The explanation of the drugs effects is where the sci_fi elements come in and it's best if you don't know too much about it until you see the movie. The only problem I had was the ending. It left a big question. It's rated "R" for drug content, language, violence and bloody images and has a running time of 1 hour & 36 minutes. I would probably buy it on DVD.
