This is where Synchronic becomes thrilling in an impressively visceral way. Thanks to a couple of plot devices, eventually Steve takes the drug himself. Steve and Dennis walking along a dark road in the middle of the night, chatting away about their normal lives, until they enter a house and discover a shocking scene out of a horror movie, where someone’s been stabbed and a medieval sword is inexplicably sticking out of a wall. The best parts of Synchronic involve the actual sci-fi element itself. Steve is a jaded ladies man, and Dennis is stuck in a dysfunctional marriage. Steve and Dennis investigate the drug’s origins and impossible time travel capabilities, while also dealing with their crumbling personal lives.
They’re called out to treat a series of people who’re spouting incoherent stories after taking a drug called Synchronic. Mackie and Dornan play Steve and Dennis, two remarkably laid-back paramedics working in New Orleans. Jamie Dornan and Anthony Mackie star as Dennis and Steve. Just lean into the anger Synchronic inspires, and eventually - on the other side - you’ll have a rewarding experience.
It’s yet another taste of the exciting talent of directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (check out 2017’s The Endless for a twisted horror flavor). A frustrating, divisive, dark indie gem with flashes of brilliance. Surprisingly, this is a recommendation to watch Synchronic.
