Synchronic (2019)
8/10
Pretty damn good
12 January 2021
The only real misgiving I have about this film, is it was too short for the world it only just started to explore, and probably would have been better as a mini-series than a movie.

Otherwise though, there's some great emotion in it, and the chemistry between the 2 leads is phenomenal, though this is largely centered around Anthony Mackie's character, he does a fair job of keeping the story compelling.

Most of the other characters are sadly left with minimal development, Jamie Dornan's character being the only other one to really get fleshed-out, and a few ominous events are just swept under the rug, or just forgotten completely. It doesn't seem like they intend a sequel, so maybe they just didn't have the creative juices or budget to build more upon the world, which is too bad.

All-in-all, this movie was worth the time and money. Though warning to any medics, you might want to just glaze over most of their scene prep and patient assessments/treatments. These dudes were like cowboys as paramedics.
