“Anon” (*** out of four) was a strikingly told melodrama set in a dystopian future without anonymity or crime in which a detective (Clive Owen) with personal problems of his own is called in to investigate a murder which leads him to a mysterious young woman (Amanda Seyfried) who threatens his safety and sanity. Intelligent and complex thriller from writer/director Andrew Niccol and an interesting comparative piece to his past works about the future “Gattaca” and “The Truman Show”. Owen is first-rate as usual; Seyfried is a little miscast and off her game here.
