'Reminiscence' review
Set in a future where climate change has led to worldwide war and global flooding,concerns a veteran who has become a kind of “private eye of the mind,” using technology developed to interrogate prisoners to delve into peoples’ memories. For a fee, you can revisit a memory, be it for nostalgic pleasure or for figuring out where you left your car keys. The business isn’t exactly booming, which is why Nick Bannister and Watts moonlight for the Miami Dade prosecutors office.
The “What happened to Mae?” plot takes Nick to various corners of his city, while interacting with various criminal elements of high and low status. There is a distinct pleasure in seeing how this original fantasy both lays out the rules and caveats of its non-IP mythology and how its old-school mystery unravels in a logical and precise fashion. The film runs a tight 116 minutes, and it offers a variety of action beats amid its engrossing dialogue beats.
None of this will reinvent the wheel. The “you can travel into your own memories” hook is a gimmick with which to enhance a pretty conventional hardboiled detective story. Likewise, the film’s post-climate change setting offers glorious visuals of a flooded American city but are mostly seasoning for what otherwise would have been a much cheaper flick. Still, commercial considerations aside, the film’s over/under $70 million budget is absolutely on the screen.
