Why the Fuck Should I Watch: SYNCHRONIC (2019)?

(Small spoilers, be warned!)

Why the fuck should you watch “Synchronic”?
• You are a fan of time travel movies.
• When watching “Avengers: Endgame” you were the only one in the cinema, who were chanting: Falcon! Falcon!
• You like entertainment, but not like…being entertained too much. You like a very specific amount of entertainment. Not too little, not too much, juuust enough to keep yourself interested for 96 minutes and get some laughs.
You like to go to film festivals and watch smaller movies instead of mainstream blockbusters.

“Synchronic” is a low budget science fiction movie that I had a chance to see at the Black Nights Film Festival this week and I was quite positively surprised. This movie has great main characters: Dennis (Jamie Dornan) and Davie (Anthony Mackie aka. Falcon) who work together as ambulance paramedics and see blood and death every day. These two have quite a nice chemistry on screen and look very believable in their roles.

One day weird shit starts to happen in their town. What do I mean by weird shit? Well, people take drugs, vanish, and then re-appear dead or with extreme injuries. You may think that, this sounds perfectly not weird in that part of the city where you live, but I assure you, it’s not what you think. The drug makes a person time travel. How? No idea. Is it cool? Yes.

Time travelling part was done well. I would like to see sequel with a 100 million USD budget, to flesh out the effects and CGI. Unlike my life at a moment, this concept they use has a lot of potential. I’m not going to spoil the concept and leave you to figure it out with Dennis and Davie. By the way one of them has a tumor. …just to throw some drama in there also. Or maybe it was a destiny?

Thing I learned: Past is a horrible place. Never go there!
…Damn that’s deep.

Why the fuck you shouldn’t watch “Synchronic”?
• You saw that Jamie Dornan is in this movie and expect another bad erotic love-story like “Fifty Shades of Grey” was.
You just popped an unknown pill that some guy gave you at the club, and want to party with Mike Posner in 2016.
• You like movies that do something new in their genre.
• You are hoping for a super smart and complicated science fiction movie.
