Darkside Blues

Plot

In a future not so far off, the world has been transformed by the sheer ambition of a single corporation: Persona Century Corporation. Under the leadership of its enigmatic CEOs, the company has acquired nearly every inch of land on the planet, leaving no room for dissent or rebellion. Those who dare to oppose them are dealt with swiftly, their voices silenced and their freedom curtailed. The corporation's grip is tightening, squeezing the life out of all who live within its sphere of influence. However, amidst this sea of darkness, there exists a glimmer of hope. In the free town of Kabuki-cho, also known as 'The Dark Side of Tokyo,' a small resistance group has taken root. Led by the enigmatic and determined Mai, the members of Messiah are a group of individuals who refuse to surrender to the corporation's crushing regime. They have managed to maintain their independence, albeit precariously, by staying hidden from Persona's all-seeing eye. Into this volatile world steps a man shrouded in mystery, who takes on the persona of Kabuki-cho: Darkside. His true identity and past are unknown, but one thing is certain: he possesses a unique mystic power known as 'renewal.' This power allows him to heal the wounds of others, restoring their vitality and vitality. However, there is a catch: Darkside has been sealed away in another dimension, locked out of the world he once knew, for eighteen long years. That was until now. Darkside's return is not a coincidence. His mystic power has been stirring once more, sensing the desperation of the people on this side of the veil. The time for him to reenter the world has finally come. His presence is a beacon of hope for the people of Messiah, who see in him the chance to vanquish their oppressors. As the two forces collide, the stage is set for a battle that will change the course of history. Mai, the leader of Messiah, is an enigmatic figure. Her determination is evident in her eyes, and her conviction in the cause is unshaken. She sees in Darkside a long-lost hero, a savior from another world. Her trust in him is absolute, and she is willing to risk everything to ensure his safety and success. The fate of the free town rests in his hands now. As Darkside navigates this new world, he is met with a mix of emotions: awe, curiosity, and trepidation. He sees in the people of Mesiah a reflection of his own past, of a time when he too stood against the crushing forces of oppression. His heart yearns to help, to ease their burdens and bring hope to their lives. And so, with his mystic power, he begins to heal the wounds of those who suffer, restoring their vitality and vigor. However, not everyone within the ranks of Messiah is convinced of Darkside's intentions. There are those who see him as a tool, a means to an end. Their leader, a woman with a sharp tongue and a calculating gaze, believes that the corporation can be brought down through cunning and subterfuge. She is wary of Darkside's power, fearing that it may be more of a hindrance than a help. As tensions within Messiah's ranks rise, so does the stakes. The corporation, sensing the growing danger, tightens its grip on the free town. They send their agents, the ruthless 'Militia,' to crush any dissent. The battle lines are drawn, and the people of Messiah must decide whether to trust in the enigmatic Darkside or follow the lead of their leader, who is determined to preserve their way of life at all costs. The choice is a difficult one, and the consequences are far-reaching. The fate of the free town hangs in the balance, as Darkside's power grows and the forces of oppression close in. In this world on the brink of collapse, the battle for freedom has begun.

Feels like a premature ejaculation that completely missed the target.

The original novel probably drew inspiration from the US's reflection on suggestive questioning during evidence inquiries of young children, a topic that gained traction in the 1990s. However, the film adaptation takes a rather predictable suspense route, offering nothing fresh. It fails to build atmosphere as effectively as "Gone Girl" and lacks depth in exploring its themes. Chloe Grace Moretz's performance is the highlight, but she shines best in roles like Kick-Ass, her portrayal of a femme fatale doesn't quite match the charisma of actresses like Lindsay Lohan in similar roles.
