Police State

I'd been looking forward to this since halfway through 2016. My intrigue was entirely based on the poster and the tagline and the fact it was touted as a sci-fi, action, adventure. Zero promotion and even Letterboxd doesn't have many details to go on, however I found this wallowing in the depths of Amazon Prime. Here are my stream of conscious thoughts as I watched....

• Main guy is appalling. Appalling. I cannot believe he has been in other movies. I could start acting tomorrow if this is the acceptable standard these days.
• Nauseating camera work. Not shaky cam, not handheld, something far worse.
• Jumps into a doomsday/conspiracy/I'm-not-too-sure-what plot with absolutely no explanation, progression or development.
• Jumps from scene to scene inexplicably. Missing out whole scenes of development.
• Director's mates found some shockingly bad police uniforms and decided to join in.
• I wonder how much Seth Gilliam got paid for the 3 minutes he shows up for.
• Black woman going "mm-hmm".
• No transitions of any kind.
• No lighting of any kind.
• No sound effects of any kind. At one point a character shoots a policeman in a government building. It needs to be seen to be believed but what stood out was the gunshot that sounded like a cap gun.
• No set design of any kind.
• The main character's shoes are two or three sizes too big, his hair changes length, style AND colour with each passing scene. Never seen a film where the time between shoots was clear as day.
• Time travel plot now! When did this happen?!
• Main character tries to sneak into police station by asking for a fictional police officer at front desk. Two scenes later he is miraculously walking through the police station with no explanation.
• Misrepresents mental illness to offensive levels
• Characters just appear!
• Looks and feels just like a Michael Scarn movie... I miss the Office
• Slow mo pigeons
• Every single contextual element was either cut or not filmed at all. Shit just...
