Andre Niccol is an interesting director. All of his films are unique, and alot share the same tones, but none am I in love with. Gattaca is probably his best work by far, S1m0ne had its moments. Lord Of War is underrated but one that doesn't feel like one of his cyber films. In Time is probably my favorite work of his, probably his second most underrated, and second best crafted. The Host sucked, and i never saw Good Kill, but now he has his netflix original. Anon, a film with two great leads, but two great leads that don't do a whole lot, in fact most of this film doesn't do a lot, it feels super contrived, is pretty boring at times, and just feels derivative & tired. It isn't a bad film, but it is one that along with the new Cloverfield, might send netflix in a cheaper direction. If any director with a filmography pitches an idea to netflix, chances are it is going to get picked up, hell i'm glad this was a netflix flick, i honestly might feel less kind towards it had i used movie pass or actually paid.
