Rating: 

8/10

Cast:

Jamie Dornan as Dennis Dannelly

Anthony Mackie as Steve Denube

Ally Ioannides as Brianna Dannelly

Katie Aselton as Tara

Co-Directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead; Written by Justin Benson

Synchronic Review:

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have delivered hit after hit in the indie horror world, traversing every subject from body horror to convent life and time-looping madness and with their latest effort, Synchronic, they find themselves offering a unique new take on the time travel genre and while it features plenty of visually stunning imagery and a mesmerizing exploration of existentialism, albeit a bit of a heavy-handed one.

When New Orleans paramedics and longtime best friends Steve and Dennis are called to a series of bizarre and gruesome accidents, they chalk it up to a mysterious new drug found at the scene. But after Dennis’ oldest daughter disappears, Steve stumbles upon a terrifying truth about the supposed psychedelic that will challenge everything he knows about reality — and the flow of time itself.

The directing duo waste no time in establishing the film’s very hypnotic and dreamlike tone, opening it up with a couple trying out the titular drug only to see the horrific effects that can come with it and it’s an intriguing start before introducing viewers to Steve and Dennis and their relationship with one another.

The married man and ladies man friendship dynamic is one utilized plenty of times in the film world and, though seen executed far better in other stories with better-written characters, comes across as mostly believable. Be it the subtle but enjoyable chemistry between Jamie Dornan and Anthony Mackie or Benson and Moorhead’s inherent knack for knowing how to write a close friendship akin to their own, when Steve and Dennis are on-screen together it’s usually a compelling thing to watch.

The problem also arises from this, however, as when the two are apart and the film chooses to focus on one or the other the writing seems to lose its creative balance and clearly favor one over the other. Subjected to constant flashbacks of his time with his wife and daughter before the latter’s disappearance as he comes home from his graveyard shifts, Dornan’s Dennis feels woefully underwritten and largely thrown to the side even when he’s supposedly being given the spotlight. The Irish star doesn’t necessarily deliver a poor performance in the role, but the material he’s given frequently leaves him looking stiff and very wooden.

Once the film finally — and I mean finally, after quite a slow start — gets to its time-traveling element, things become really interesting and Mackie gets the chance to illustrate his effortless charisma and Benson and Moorhead’s somewhat dark sense of humor. The visual depiction of Steve moving through time is such an incredible sight and beautifully thought out, keeping audiences guessing as to just when he’s going to land.

Unfortunately, even with as minimal a time travel plot as the film has in comparison to other genre fare, the film finds itself struggling to stay consistent with the rules it’s creating or even make some of them clear enough for the viewer to moderately comprehend. Its seven-minute lasting period seems to only exist when it’s essential to the plot, the nature at which someone or something can come back from the past goes back and forth from a more simplistic explanation to then throwing the rule out the window for a few devastating turns and an Inception-esque ending.

Another of the film’s problems arises in its reflection on life and death and humanity’s place in the world throughout time, which begins subtle and succinct but eventually progresses into far-too-on-the-nose explanations that feel almost as though the filmmakers could have just put up title cards with their same sentiments or hosted a TED Talk to express their ideas. It starts to feel less like a poignant and moving exploration and debate of the soul worthy of the indie genre and more like a pretentious explanation a blockbuster film would deliver to its viewer to make sure a general audience understands what the filmmaker is getting at.

Synchronic may not break Benson and Moorhead’s winning streak, as it’s still a fairly compelling new take on the time travel genre and features a solid performance from Mackie, stellar direction from the duo and some beautiful scenery, but for those unfamiliar with their previous work, its pacing and heavy-handed dialogue may prove to be a bit of a slog to navigate through.

Resident Evil Reboot builds cast Including Scodelairo, Amell & More!

It’s been just over a year since we last heard word about the upcoming reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise and now Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down) has begun building an ensemble cast including Kaya Scodelairo (The Maze Runner), Robbie Amell (Upload) and Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp), according to Deadline.

RELATED: Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Teaser Released for Netflix’s Original Horror Series

The film is set to be an official origin story to Capcom’s long-running survival horror video game franchise and will be set on the infamous night in Raccoon City in 1998 when the Umbrella Corporation unleashed hell upon the world and it was up to a select group of people to stop them.

“With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences,” Roberts said in a statement.

Scodelairo has been cast as Claire Redfield while John-Kamen is set to play Jill Valentine and Amell as Chris Redfield, all of whom will star alongside The Umbrella Academy‘s Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker, Zombieland: Double Tap‘s Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy and Yellowstone‘s Neal McDonough as William Birkin.

The film will be produced by Robert Kulzer for Constantin Films, who were attached to the Milla Jovovich-starring franchise, alongside James Harris from Tea Shop Productions and Hartley Gorenstein, while Constantin’s CEO Martin Moskowicz and Davis Film’s Victor Hadida are set to executive produce. Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems, who distributed the original films, is set to release the film domestically while Constantin will debut it in German-speaking territories, Elevation in Canada, Metropolitan in France and Sony Pictures Releasing in all remaining territories.

“After a dozen games, six live-action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City,” Kulzer said in a statement.

In 2018, it was reported that Roberts had been tapped to helm and write the Resident Evil reboot. Though previously attached, James Wan’s Atomic Monster has dropped out of the project.

RELATED: Resident Evil Franchise Heading to Netflix as Scripted Series

The last installment of the first series of Resident Evil movies, helmed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring his wife Milla Jovovich, earned $26.8 million domestically. Internationally, however, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter grossed an impressive $285.4 million, with $160 million of that coming from China. The $40 million-budgeted sixth film, distributed by Sony‘s Screen Gems, has earned $312.2 million worldwide.

Based on Capcom’s hugely popular video games, the Resident Evil movies have earned $1.2 billion worldwide to date, making it the highest-grossing film series to be based on a video game.

— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) October 6, 2020

The film, based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Paulette Jiles and penned by Lion‘s Luke Davies, follows a widowed newsreader in the aftermath of the Cold War who travels throughout Texas announcing the news of the world to the local population. He is hired to help transport an orphan girl (Helena Zengel) whose parents were killed by a Native American tribe that then took her in and raised her to San Antonio to her surviving relatives. As they make the trek through dangerous territories, they form a close bond that the man finds will make it difficult to relinquish her to her relatives, who have no desire to take her and have abusive plans for her.

News of the World was originally set up at Fox 2000, but that label was put into early retirement by Disney after the Mouse house acquired 20th Century Fox last month. The project was then moved to Universal.

Hanks, who previously worked with Greengrass on the Oscar-nominated thriller Captain Phillips, will produce alongside Gary Goetzman for Playtone and Gail Mutrux for Pretty Pictures. The 62-year-old Oscar winner was most recently seen in the historical thriller Greyhound, which he also scripted, and recently returned to production on Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic, in which he will star as the singer’s manager Colonel Tom Parker and is slated for a November 5, 2021 release.
