Viewing Notes

Finished up the remaining short films from the Fantastic Shorts package since I had to jump out of the live viewing for the TR TV watch party.

This one is pretty good and well executed. It’s one of those “look where we’re headed with technology and automation for crimes” sci-fi tales that’s also a dark comedy. Given how poorly real police handle crimes now I can totally see this scenario play out if left to computers and drones to issue arrests.
