ARLO: THE ASSASSIN

About This Movie

Arlo: The Assassin is a fascinating piece of 80's inspired lo-fi cyberpunk that takes you straight into a gritty 2053. The atmosphere? It's thick with neon lights and a palpable sense of danger. The pacing is relentless, drawing you into Arlo's world of shadows where every mark could be his last. The performances, while not from big names, have this raw energy that feels very fitting for the style. Practical effects shine here, giving a nostalgic feel that CGI often just can't replicate. What really stands out is the character of The Grinning Girl; she’s tough as nails and keeps you on your toes, making for an engaging cat-and-mouse dynamic.
