‘Fast Color’: A Strikingly Different Take on the Superhero Film - Movie Review
Set in a future dystopian United States in which water is running out, Julia Hart’s Fast Color (2018) is a refreshingly different take on the superhero film.

Fast-food worker, Howard Conray, is discontent with his life so he decides to solve a series of murders. The closer he gets to the truth, the more deluded he becomes. Soon Howard is a vigilante detective battling a devious crime lord, chatting with a shady drug dealer, and trying to save the integrity of his ex-girlfriend.

"Be good. It doesn’t mean you can’t be tough. It doesn’t mean you always have to be nice. Just be good."
Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
Seeing that the film was essentially his first big, mainstream feature, and with garnering a leading role — portraying the revolutionary ball-player Jackie Robinson — Boseman, without question, delivered a performance that is still so incredibly moving, respectful, genuine, and true to the core of his obviously sincere, artistic heart; and with that, it is indeed so saddening to see him pass.
The height of subversive horror cinema is Jennifer’s Body. No, I will never budge on that. Yes, Cabin in The Woods is funny, Scream is very well made, and the Scary Movie franchise is …. there. But nothing is quite as satisfying as watching the teenage succubus that is Jennifer Check rip apart boys. In the post #metoo era where the industry is far from changed, watching revenge flicks like these is probably one of the most cathartic experiences due to the slow-moving progress being made.
