While editing a piece on a routine traffic stop that resulted in the death of a police officer and a major political official (Larry Fessenden, Dementer, Jakob's Wife), Jake is inadvertently sent dashcam video evidence that tells a completely different story. Working alone from his small apartment in NYC, Jake uses his skills as an editor to analyze the footage and piece together the truth behind what actually happened. Has Jake uncovered a conspiracy that he can break on the morning news? Or is he seeing things that aren't really there?

2.5/4
Working with miniscule budget, writer/director Christian Nilsson upstages his better-financed moneyed counterparts with this gripping political thriller. Go to Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas The Blue Lenses 10/12/2021
Dashcam is an extraordinary low-budget political thriller that does a lot with a little, and is a masterclass that sometimes, having the guts to punch above its weight can pay off just through sheer audacity alone. Go to Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands 07/09/2024
4/5
DASHCAM confronts journalistic integrity as much as it does the very nature of human existence. Go to Full Review Alix Turner Ghouls Magazine 11/09/2021

Makes efficient use of minimal tools to tell its story, proving that an excess of imagination beats resources any day of the week. Go to Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 10/19/2021
First two thirds of the movie is a fun mystery that mixes different styles. Final act takes a hard turn that takes away from the atmosphere and tension. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Laurel H 02/22/2024 Total stressful chaos. Not ONE of the characters were even remotely likeable. Can't believe I made it through to the end. See more Stoner J @Stoner 01/08/2024 A decent low budget techno thriller (sort of). Definitely worth the watch. Even with the single setting, and 50% screens, it’s super tense. A good movie See more Cristian s 10/14/2023 Mala, desperdicia varias oportunidades de convertirse en una buena película. See more pelen23 01/03/2023 It gave me creeps. Not so original but better many films I watch in recent years See more Nicolas 10/30/2022 Nice movie. An obvious ending at some point. That's why not full 4-stars. See more KARL O @GalwayK 06/07/2022 I've seen this movie before. Back in the 70s it was called The Conversation and it was really good. Then in the 80s it was called Blow Out - also great. If you enjoy watching a dork friend, who's slow on the mouse and sulky, edit a sound file for 82 minutes, this is just the movie for you. The only sound that broadcast clear was the inevitable ending. Was this a New School student movie that snuck onto in demand ? See more Read all reviews
