Anon (2018) is a movie about a detective in a futuristic society where everything is surveilled.
I'm not going to spoil the movie, but if you liked the Laughing Man arc in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, or if you liked Deus Ex Machina, you'll probably like this movie.
It's basically a neo noir movie, with a grizzled detective, a femme fatale, and surprisingly little wokeness given the year it was made. What wokeness there is doesn't really interfere and could even be considered a coincidence.
The cinematography is pretty decent, and really reminds me of Deus Ex Machina.
Overall 8/10 movie.
Thanks! GitS SAC is one of my favorite anime so I'll check that out. What do you mean by "Deus Ex Machina" though? Did you mean the game "Deus Ex" (another one of my faves) or the plot device? There was also a 1984 game called Deus Ex Machina but I don't think you meant that. I'm just wondering if there's another a movie or something with that name I need to watch.
Yeah I like that one too! I thought of that but was focused on the detective and surveillance themes he brought up, and didn't consider he might have meant because of the robots. In that case Ex Machina makes perfect sense.
