The Techno-Thriller-Comedy that Nobody knew we needed
We unexpectedly loved maniac. It had a lot to say about fantasy vs. reality. The beautiful modern take (extremely loosely) on Don Quixote had a lot to say to the current era that we find ourselves in. A near future almost hopeless setting shines a lot on how we currently attempt to cope with our reality by escaping into our virtual realities. It's especially difficult on millennials who are trying to overcome the arrested development that we've been placed in. We had too much of a good thing, technology, and haven't quite figured out how to balance virtual with analog reality. 9/10 well worth your time!

Chris-Pratt starring sci-fi thriller, that initially comes across a bit like 'Minority Report' in that it is set in the near-future, and where law and order had more-or-less broken down until a new method of performing trials (here, by AI) is instituted.

In this, Pratt plays LA cop Chris Raven, who has just 90 minutes to prove his innocence whilst strapped into a chair that is counting down to lethal injection, over just who killed his wife. The bulk of this movie is thus carried largely on Pratt's shoulders (supported by Rebecca Ferguson's AI), with extensive use of video-cam footage as his character carries out an investigation without being physically present at the crime scene.

And, yes, the identity of the real killer is pretty obvious from early on.
