Coming to a Town near you!
While this film is a few years old now, it's never really been more relavant / relatable.A dystopian tale of government surveillance taken to the extreme, but with a splash of great actors and a captivating plot line, give it a watch.With no movies to speak of being made any more this is reminder of what used to be on offer on a regular basis.

"..A GOOD SCI-FI GEM.."
This review is for the film and the German Steelbook Blu-ray release.PLOT...In a world without anonymity or crime, a detective meets a woman who threatens their security.Anon is a nice easy simplistic watch, a small sci-fi gem that has great ideas and gives you plenty to think about, no big lavish effects and ships and explosions, just good simple story telling with interesting characters and concept, the movie visualy still looks really nice and gives us a hint of what the future could be like with our privacy on the line. The cast is all great, Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried are good in their performances, from the director of In Time (also starring Amanda Seyfried) worth checking out if you love a slow pace but good looking sc-fi with a who done it story, this movie i should imagine went very underrated.The Blu-ray looks good in HDFeatures include several interviews with cast and makers (over an hour, English) trailer.Region B plays in the UK. Running time 100mins. 2018.Plays in the original English language audio, and German. Subtitles can be turned off.The steelbook is very nice front and back and makes a good addition to the collection.

Three Stars
A bit disappointed in story line. Didn't like all the computer graphics coming up on screen either.

Watchdogs the movie?!
Lots of cool hacking tech, makes me think of things like the Watchdogs games except its a fairly pedestrian murder mystery / whodunnit under all that. Not sure if that is much of a bad thing, any more of the tech and it would have been Transcendence or Mr Robot. Probably only a 3-4 star movie really but its a fun glimpse into our future ... next week. Yay life is already a dystopian nightmare and we're all doomed ... more tech movies to keep us amused until then!

Imaginative and entertaining
An imaginative and entertaining movie. Well paced and well written parts for its protagonists Seyfried and Owen. Owen always seems to bring something very natural and real to the screen and doesn’t disappoint here.

A lovely sci-fi gem
A delightful little find- there’s plenty of action, the direction is pacy, the acting professional and, important in sci-fi, believable.I don’t really get with the negativity on this one. If you like your cinema spoon fed, it’s not for you. But if you like having a little think about things, give it a go. 7.5/10

Clever film that made me think
I liked the look of the film, the futuristic greys and dullness. It introduces a dark side to what the future might bring as regards law enforcement and a new dimension as to where there may be lack of control (or perhaps more) depending on what perspective you look at.The sex and violence is not overbearing and the plot follows a plausible path in my opinion. It's a serious film, no real comedy but interesting. I would compare it to an episode of Black Mirror with a bit of a Hollywood twist which is no insult.I would recommend this to a friend. It's not too long and plays out at a good pace. I didn't get bored and that's quite unusual for me.Worth it for a rent :)

Audio-Video Delay
Tried to watch by renting from Amazon. There was a significant delay between audio and video. This delay is not present in the trailer. If you are one of those who cannot stand the delay be careful.

Tres beau steelbook mais attention pas de VF
Avis aux collectionneurs, Pour ceux souhaitant rajouter la vf il vous faudra vous tourner vers un amaray du benelux, qui est dispo sur cede.com si jamais… ( oui existe effectivement il existe pas de vf en verison steelbook …)

Not to far off for facial recognition.
Over the top and slightly bazaar but given today’s facial recognition systems, this could be only slightly in the future. Great story. This was right up my alley.

DVD does not play in the region of North America
Biggest News! Vendor is very helpful in steps to refund. It does take work on your part though.Please always check that the DVD (if you still use that format) plays in your region. Amazon does not filter that for you!

unusual concept
good sci-fi. there are several nude sex scenes unnecessary to the story line. I chose it on Netflix because it had clive owen. I liked it despite the sex and bought it as a gift for another clive owen fan. she likes it as well. I cannot think of a way to describe the story line without giving away too much, but it is good.

Unplayable
My expectation was that I'd be able to watch this movie. But nope, the copy I received did not play in Region 2 (the United States) - which WAS NOT STATED IN AMAZON'S DESCRIPTION OF THE DVD.
