Dwight’s Rating:

With Election Fever rampant in the country, here’s an election-themed review.

The new film “Reminiscence” is like a politician who incessantly talks about the future, but seems to be hopelessly stuck in the past.

This sci-fi/thriller definitely is future-looking in some aspects of the plot, but is also a very clear nod to “film noir” classics of the 1940s.

Now, there ain’t nothing wrong with that at all. Anything with many actors from that era, especially Humphrey Bogart (“The Big Sleep” is nearly perfect, and “The Maltese Falcon” of 1941 is the standard-bearer for the genre) will be more enjoyable than most of what gets released today.
