Nicolas Cage, Hugh Dillon, and Sarah Lind in The Humanity Bureau (2017)
In the near future climate change has wreaked havoc in parts of the American Midwest. In its attempt to take hold of an economic recession, a government agency called the Humanity Bureau exiles members of society deemed unproductive and banishes them to a colony known as New Eden. An ambitious and impartial caseworker Noah Kross (Nicolas Cage) investigates a case appealed by a single mother Rachel Weller (Sarah Lind) and her son Lucas (Jakob Davies). Knowing the unjust fate of the innocent boy and against the wishes of his superior Adam Westinghouse (Hugh Dillon), Kross sets off to save the lives of the mother and child and to expose the truth about the Humanity Bureau's secrets once and for all.

    No thank you!
    In the words of Damon Wayans, "Hated it". I've seen better acting at elementary school play. The script left much to be desired. The plot twists were not so expected. But they were kinda stupid. It left me with way too many questions. The way it ended, there could be a sequel...but lord I hope not
