The film Easy Rider (1969) features a cool and collected Fonda, a restless Hopper, and a stellar Nicholson, all set against a backdrop of gleaming motorcycles, barren deserts, counterculture youth, and folksy rock tunes. While the movie does experiment with some innovative editing techniques, it ultimately delivers a coherent and well-crafted storyline. Following a journey to Mardi Gras, capturing the carefree spirit of the open road and the thrill of the ride, immersing the viewer in the world of these free-spirited bikers and their quest for adventure. Hitchhikers, cute girls and judgmental locals are encountered along the way, showcasing the free love and open attitudes of the era's counterculture movement. Overall, Easy Rider is a timeless classic that captures the essence of a generation and continues to inspire audiences with its raw energy and unforgettable soundtrack.

Going from a number of unrecognized short films, Aneesh Chaganty makes a very promising debut as the director and writer of his, to my knowledge, first prominent feature film. This film invites the viewer to an intriguing mystery that unfolds solely through the online screens of today, a modern technicality, and I like it!

The main reason to see this film is because of John Cho, who delivers a great performance as the desperate father looking for his daughter, reinforcing the otherwise typical missing-child-narrative, allowing a chilly atmosphere to unfold.

If you are looking for a modern cyber-mystery, with a lot of nerving turns, you should watch this.
