They're previous outings, especially their slow burn low-budget Resolution and the fantastic The Endless, are mind benders that slowly unwind the respective film's underlying mystery. The astute viewer can figure out what's happening in this film's surreal prologue. And just in case you still can't figure it out, there's a bit too much exposition later on to hammer it home. Anthony Mackie is excellent. It's hard to not subconsciously see Marvel's Falcon, but overall he is an effective dramatic lead. The chemistry with fellow EMT Jamie Dorn is believable and authentic and adds poignancy to the films more dramatic moments.

They visit some well crafted scenes where they are called in as EMT's, and their weary "been here, done that " banter is effective. While the last act is WAY too formulaic, overall it's an entertaining flick, and if I hadn't seen their previous outings, I probably would have enjoyed it more.

P.S. Anybody catch the Andrew Garland Annihilation synths in both the beginning and end?… Expand

Interesting concept - good acting. At beginning was a bit boring but later got more interesting though

The film is not to point out as one of the best of this century but its honesty is in its defense, the fact that it does not abuse the special effects and that it does not bother to give a moral speech about drugs. Not to mention more.

This film is moody, introspective, intelligent and god forbid, shot from a male perspective. BLASPHEMY of the modern day. It has some real and authentic insights concerning what the main character is experiencing in his personal life concerning his own mortality and personal evolution. The story cleverly and judiciously uses special effects to illustrate a phenomenon rather than hitting you over the head with a CGI club. THAT in itself leaves certain misguided audiences to feel let down because they didn't get their CGI fix... as if that alone makes for good story telling. This film is just that and more... a very good story that was very well told.… Expand
