Sometimes when browsing streaming movie offers, you just find a thing you have to share, and The Tangle is exactly that thing. If you liked Blade Runner and Person of Interest, and enjoy locked room mysteries, this is going to tickle your tentacles. It's a noirish mystery regarding the murder of a sort of special agent in a speakeasy where she couldn't have easily been murdered by just anybody--
But whodunnit, in a digital meets meatspace world where digital poets and sheepish AI might be suspects?
The dialogue has the Romantic poets, Phillip K. Dick and Heinlein all shooting through it. I may have called one character "Temu Trinity" at one point (also may have said "The coffee spoon is a lie"), but I'm sorry. I think there's conscious Matrix tribute in here, also. As in homage, not theft.
Anyway, get your sympathetic neurosystem ready and onboard this film. It's a weird universe, but actually, kind of a straightforward mystery, and if you love mysteries, the ending has some fun no shit Sherlock vibes.
So fun and recommended.
