Netflix continues to try really hard - and Andrew Niccol (Gattaca) is certainly no stranger to near-future technology gone wrong but Anon suffers from an interesting premise but a flat delivery. Half the film feels like a video game (think Watchdogs or Detroit Become Human) while the leads (Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried) deliver little emotion or heat - despite not being afraid of frequent nudity. It's extremely topical and quite believable, but the delivery leaves something to be desired.
