RoboCop
I mean, if you remove all the RoboCop references this is not a bad film. A bit on the nose, but much less po-faced than Elysium. They even brought in the guy from The Wire for street cred, not to mention Batman and Commissioner Gordon.
This is a standard thriller with dirty cops, Da Chief which is actually the dirtiest cop, TV pundits fanning the flame of CRIME. It’s like Elite Squad 2, with added action scenes.
Yes, I also saw Blade Runner and Sicario, no need to remind me of those better films. You don’t even have any Alejandro-alike.
The Faux News oracle has some gems:
“Astronauts can take hookers into space”
“Beer overtakes water as most consumed beverage”
Not sure that second one isn’t true already, if you consider “sold”.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
