Synchronic (2020)
4/10

Two buddy paramedics deal with the effects of a powerful psychedelic drug hitting the neighborhood, including the disappearance of one of their daughters.

Not a bad start to an interesting concept, but along with rather surfacey main characters, the execution of the ending half was so incredibly long, talky, stifled, and labored. I understand the budget may have been on the low side, but that's never stopped creative filmmakers from creating some fun action and suspense when it's a good time for it. The film's ending third had lots of opportunities to have some "Star Trek" fun, but it was always blunted... a tease, and then muffled with a wet blanket of somberness. The relentless somber soundtrack didn't help, but I can understand matching the socks.
