Anon

In a future where privacy is obsolete and every citizen's life is meticulously recorded and accessible, a detective investigates a series of murders. He encounters a mysterious hacker known only as 'Anon,' who seems to be invisible to the system. As he delves deeper, he finds himself questioning the true nature of freedom and humanity in a world without secrets.

Anon received a mixed to negative reception from critics, who often found its premise interesting but its execution lacking. While some appreciated its exploration of themes like privacy and surveillance, many felt the film was derivative of other dystopian narratives and suffered from a predictable plot and underdeveloped characters. Audience reception was similarly lukewarm.
