Netflix brings us another ‘original’ film, this time a 2017 British Action/Crime/Sci-Fi called ‘iBoy’. Starring British Bill Milner, Maisie Williams and Miranda Richardson. Written by Joe Barton and directed by Adam Randall the film was another reminder of how much ‘technology’ plays a massive part of our lives and the pros and cons at having it be there.
Decent acting by Maisie Williams and a breathe of fresh-air to see our leads not be the typical type-cast choices. With a budget of $1,5 million and a run-time of 90 minutes it was an expression of what we all might hope to do if we had super-powers and seemed revenge.
Great story, nice acting, and some great scenes, but unfortunately some things didn’t exactly add up for me. Surely a film’s charm is showing and not telling, but viewers quite appreciate it when they are able to identify with characters on screen, and I am not sure everyone was able to connect on this level.
