Anon is a futuristic sci-fi thriller in the mould of Minority Report.
Sal Frieland (Clive Owen) is a cop who solves crimes by reviewing people's memories that exist in the ether. Files are available and reviewed, this is a society where people have lost their privacy.
When a series of murders are uncovered, it seems there is an anonymous hacker who is manipulating the point of view of the victims and their memories. Sal figures it is a mysterious woman (Amanda Seyfried) who society has no record of.
Writer/director Andrew Niccol creates an interesting world but there is too much reading of small text on screen that scrolls so fast you quickly give up on it. The film loses its impetus once Sal and the woman meet up, the twist was not unexpected as I reckoned their would be an interested third person involved.
