David Cronenberg is known for body horror, which is the theme within his art. Kelsey Egan does it all on her sensational South African film The Fix, whose new yet old concepts makes writing and directing effortless. The pulsating narrative paired with excellent music truly engulf the audience, especially during the stunt sequences which are very brave. Kelsey Egan truly knows how to stage action.
It does not, however, mean that it does not achieve its goals. It does take ideas from other movies like The Fly series or Species (1995) and even Splice (2009), but that only makes the movie more polished. People need to wear pandemic style masks outside due to the pollution. There is a drug firm that developed a pill allowing people to breathe freely, but for an outrageous price. Sounds familiar? This is an excellent example of new drug culture innovation.
The film follows model Elle (Grace van Dien), who gets in a relationship with her father and reaches excessive welfare while taking recreational drugs paired with commercials for a drug company.
There is probably none more effective method of commanding the present than by changing it.
At a rave party Elle is, in a fantastical attempt to get even with the system that has wronged her in a holistic manner, overdoses on a designer drug. Elle gets messed up and crashes into a toilet mid-party, interrupting some heavy petting between partygoers. When Boxer (Aiden Scott) attempts to help her, she is in the imminent process of vomiting.
To Elle’s surprise, she discovers certain peculiar things about her physiology. Super adaptable skin transforming into spikes protruding from her elbows and other places. She literally crashes out of the party, only to land in front of Boxer as he is getting out of the party. While escaping Drug people wanting the drug that she unwittingly took out of the Home, he saves her. But he is not the good guy. He turns out to be a date rapist who she fights off and bursts into the night. After realizing she can jump, land, and scale the walls. Later on, she learns that her genetics have some of the DNA of a dragonfly integrated into it.
Most dystopian science fiction fans will be entertained by The Fix (2024), as it’s like a superhero origin story.
Starting off with powers that are given unwillingly like The Hulk, Harvey Dent from Batman Books. Elle channels her inner Milla Jovovich from the Resident Evil film series and shows Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld franchise a series of practical stunts and gun-a-blazing. Elle does find someone who can help her, a reformed scientist Solomon (Keena Arrison) who unlike the big pharma company, has an alternative and is personified by O’Connor’s (Daniel Sharman) who seems driven Lex Luthor with creating something at the expense of everything else because of a relentless father (Clancey Brown).
The Fix (2024) moves smoothly with some strong visuals, particularly in the Blow Up (1966) inspired commercial shoot with thin, dead-faced women reminding me of David Hemming’s provocative photo shoot. Elle gets spotted at the train station by a young girl and has to put up with the raving bearded loon that seems to accompany everyone around these parts.
Some cool new tech with view screens and holograms try to confirm fashion aid but strangely only for the women bring an almost sixties mod mini skirt, plastic fetish shirt feel.
An entertaining yet serious tech comic book movie that can potentially set the bar for new female action stars because she can literally spread her wings.
