Circle (2017) The main problem I see with this movie is that it doesn’t hit the evilness and fascist tendencies of “progressives” who rule the tech world, and by extension, especially according to this movie, the rest of us. There’s a scene where two bright young wokers harangue her, but in a nice way, always smiling, like Mormons, saying disgusting things while acting like your best friend. They passive/agress bitch at her for not getting involved on social media enough.
That, and the company’s new product, a small processor/camera that can be stuck up anywhere and immediately send live video, facial recognition, etc etc. to a satellite. Not one person in this Apple-like mass meeting with Tom Hanks’ Steve Jobs brings up the fact that the government would love this.
Hangman (2017) Arg. Another artificially contrived murder mystery where they killer has time, finances, intelligence enough insanity to stage multiple complicated murder scenes. As any real cop knows, it’s tough to set up a common garden variety murder without making a million mistakes, this guy does one ever 24 hours in succession and the cops can’t find him, even knowing he’s going to do one with a string of clues left behind. But even that isn’t as contrived as a few other plot points, like Pacino (what’s he doing, that fake Southern accent he thinks he can do?) as an old cop with a younger partner, plus a reporter tagging along as female relief.
