The Fix

In a dystopian future where air is toxic, a troubled young model takes an illicit new drug at a party and suffers a shocking transformation. She undertakes to reverse the effects of the drug, only to discover that her mutations may be the key to saving the human race.

Okay let's do the positives first... Right so now let's do the negatives: Poor acting, poor direction, poor editing, appalling dialogue, everyone angry and raving even when it's not warranted, choppy, messy and chaotic scene changing. Is that enough for you or shall I go on? I think th film tried to be clever beyond the abilities of everyone involved in it.

It's a decent flic, probably produced on a lower budget, definitely a 6 or 7, maybe a 5 if you don't like the concept, definitely worth a watch.

I wouldn't normally review films but it appears like something else is going on given the number of 1 star reviews. A scale of 1 to 10 it's a relative measure from the worst film ever to the best, which can be slightly be influenced by the reviewers preference and film watching experience. THIS IS NOT A ONE STAR film, it's so far away from that it's just insulting. I would argue against any 3 star reviews, there are so many rubbish films out there that you can't possibly put this as 3.

The scenes were rushed. The acting was subpar. I couldn't connect with the main character, and her yelling a lot didn't make me feel anymore for her or what she was going through. It was the same for all the other characters. The whole thing felt superficial. Like the movie wasn't well thought out, they just took an idea and ran with it. The story had no real point to it and felt immature. The ending was very unsatisfying and the twist it presented was laughable and made me roll my eyes internally. There were attempts to add action scenes, but the metal music was cheesy and the action was mediocre. Besides a few pretty shots of the landscape, there was not much to enjoy, other than being amused at how terrible the plot and acting was.

The synopsis and plot description sounded similar to Limitless (2011) but this film deals more so with a drug which they aren't certain of and in a seemingly dystopian future world. The entire plot revolves around the lead taking the entirety of this drug in which we don't know why. She didn't know what it was yet thought it was apparently a good idea to consume the entirety. Then was surprised that there were obvious side effects and bizarre happenings.

The film is somewhat engaging but moves at such a rapid pace and at times feels off. We don't necessarily know much about the lead character to truly cate, besides her being a model/ actress in commercials who seemingly was being cheated on by her virtues wort her best friend.

The action and overall tone feels like a teen novel but it's apparently an original concept by the director. The ending was also seemingly setup to set a sequel which came rather abruptly and left with questions unanswered. In the end, it's a film concept which we have seen a lot better in the last but there's still somewhat of an engaging factor.

A more than decent premise that with a bigger budget and in the hand of an expert director like Luc Besson could have made a big entry into the sci-fi / mutation genre like Lucy did back in 2014.

Impressive are the idea of it, not the first though, but from a contaminated air point of view, nearly the first mutation average flick. Not so impressive are the plots, flow and ending of it that could be polished in a sequel.
