Chrysalis

Surprisingly slick for an indie film, Chrysalis is a mix of martial arts, hard-boiled French cops, and mind-bending sci-fi.

The production values are great, with tons of detail devoted to the futuristic feel and fight scenes. The plot is good if slightly confusing due to a lot of back and forth in who's good and who's bad. The whole thing feels a bit like Equilibrium, except it's lacking the really standout performances.

Not great, but a lot of fun, and pretty impressive considering we don't see much French sci-fi at all.
