THE SPEED OF THOUGHT

Cinemavixion Review

Evan Oppenheimer's "The Speed of Thought" delves into the complex psyche of Joshua Lazarus, a telepath ensnared by a government program designed to weaponize his extraordinary gift. Nick Stahl delivers a compelling performance as Lazarus, a man grappling with the potential self-destruction inherent in his abilities while seeking an escape with his newfound love, Anna (Mía Maestro). The film skillfully navigates themes of control, destiny, and the human desire for freedom, amplified by the introduction of Kira, portrayed by Taryn Manning, who aids in their quest for a cure. While the narrative explores intriguing sci-fi concepts, its true strength lies in the emotional core, examining the profound impact of extraordinary powers on ordinary human connections and the fight against systemic deception. It's a thought-provoking journey that questions the price of power and the enduring pursuit of autonomy.
