Critics Consensus

Lacking enough depth to fulfill its evident ambitions or enough excitement to work as a sci-fi action thriller, Anon lives down to its title in the most glumly predictable ways.

2/5

The tone-deaf execution of the film - all flat-line delivery and awkward pauses - rather undermines the intelligence of the premise.

All we're missing is a story worth caring about.

Ends up like an episode of Black Mirror without the jokes. Or much of the drama.

2/4

Neat ideas aside, the antiseptic quality of Anon, including predictable plot machinations, leaves the experience emotionally vacant.

The weariness before the characters and the lack of concretion beat the notes of wit. [Full Review in Spanish]

Anon is one of those films where you imagine that the writer sat around thinking about how cool and edgy his script was, completely missing the fact that the story jumps around from scene to scene with very little cohesion or sense.

Filme: ANON Assistido: 4-3-25 Elenco: @cliveowenofficial @mingey @colmfeore @markobrienforeal @iddophoto @sonyawalgerofficial @sebastianpigott @realrachelroberts Modelo: #ficção #policial #ação Duração: 1h 40m Ano: 2018 Minha opinião: Filme retrata algo que estaremos vivendo em um tempo curto. Onde temos IA avançado, que através do olhos consegue fazer leituras de pessoas, locais, e todas as coisas necessárias ao arredor do campo de visão. Hoje já estão com óculos com estas tecnologias. Mas vamos voltar para o filme, om Clive Owen sendo Sal e Amanda Seyfried sendo Garota. Onde em sistema teoricamente perfeito onde para descobrir crimes foi criado o sistema perfeito. Onde tudo esta gravado, disse tudo, porem existe um Hacker que pode mudar a realidade e apagar aquilo que seria impossível. Mas agora estão aparecendo cadáveres com ação de um assassino. Então Sal arma uma cilada pra pegar o assassino. E quem a aparece é a Garota, mas Sal não a prende. Mas os assassinatos continuam, então Sal a chama para um novo trabalho, mas acabam tendo um relacionamento. Até chegar ao final quando na verdade quem é o verdadeiro criminoso era outro detetive da policia que descobriram que enganou o departamento e se infiltrou, para ter acesso as informações e ao final querer colocar a culpa em Sal. E na emboscada onde tem Garota refém dele, Sal vai para salva-la. Uma proposta futurista e diferente. Porem não que seja perfeito faltou uma certa conexão, meio sombrio de mais. Roteiro e enredo poderia ser muito melhor. Vale apena assistir? Sim por uma proposta diferente. Nota: 7
