Crazy aesthetics

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2020)

Awe-inspiring aesthetics and masterful photography. The film unleashes a devastating force and arrogance in all its directorial and scenographic choices starting from the punk and cyberpunk taste of the costumes, to arrive at the meticulous quality of the never banal chase scenes and furious fights aboard whimsical and eccentric cars. In the face of the fact that this "action package" occupies most of the vision after all, and therefore it would have been easy to fall into repetitiveness. These are undoubtedly positive elements, which fill in all respects the semblance of emptiness (desired and not at all dystopian) in the deepening of the plot of the characters, and in particular of the protagonist. These latter criticisms of the film are understandable, but nevertheless they do not in any way undermine the audiovisual experience, which is decidedly of another level compared to modern action cinema.
