HELIX

Cinemavixion Review

In the dystopian landscape of 2015's "Helix," director Eric Petey crafts a narrative that, while perhaps not reaching blockbuster status, offers a compelling premise. The film follows a recently promoted police officer whose idyllic future is shattered when the city's omnipresent AI system falsely implicates him in a murder. This forces him to confront his past, returning to the derelict areas he escaped, in a desperate bid for exoneration. Marc Petey stars as the conflicted protagonist, navigating a world where technology's promise has soured into surveillance and suspicion. Though the film's IMDb rating suggests a mixed reception, its exploration of artificial intelligence, social stratification, and the corruptibility of justice systems provides food for thought within its sci-fi mystery framework.
