Anon


Anon is a Netflix released, futuristic crime/sci-fi/drama film starring Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried. It tells the story of a world where technology has advanced to the point where there is no privacy or secrecy. Everything is recorded and can be seen though anyone’s perspective. When a hacker, who has figured out how to be hidden from police, goes on string of murders, it is up to detective, Sal Frieland, played by Owen, to figure out what is going on before it’s too late. 

I found the plot to be very unique and interesting. Additionally the script throughout had twists and turns, so it was hard to predict what would happen next and who the true villain would end up being.

I thought that the way the technology was portrayed on screen was like an evolved version of Minority Report. It was creative and cool cinematography.

Additionally, I thought that Clive Own and Amanda Seyfried did a great job playing off one another in their roles, both troubled in their own way, trying to run from their pasts, yet also very much in need of each other to solve the case at hand.

Overall, I really did like this movie. For those looking for an innovative, science fiction drama, I would definitely recommend streaming this one.
