9/10
Personal Surveillance taken to a whole new level
21 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The UK is considered the most watched nation in the world with camera everywhere to track your movements. Police wear body cams and speed cameras regulate average speeds. Is it any wonder a future world will have augmented body parts that can record and play back what an individual sees. All stored on a central data bank that can be accessed by security forces. What makes this film so wonderful is that from the start this is accepted as the norm. There is no explanation of how technology had advanced so far and yet trains and cars still exist. Essentially a whodunit plot with a twist, I wont spoil it by saying who the perp was but the closing line of the film will stay with me a while. Especially as the accepted version of today's society promotes the idea that, if you have nothing to hide why should you have any fear. However in a diametrically opposed view we hear, "It's not that I have anything to hide, it's that I don't have anything i want you to see". Please watch the film and make up your own mind.
