Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan in Synchronic (2019)

When New Orleans paramedics and longtime best friends Steve (Anthony Mackie) and Dennis (Jamie Dornan) are called to a series of bizarre, gruesome accidents, they chalk it up to the mysterious new party drug found at the scene. But after Dennis's oldest daughter suddenly disappears, Steve stumbles upon a terrifying truth about the supposed psychedelic that will challenge everything he knows about reality-and the flow of time itself.

Trivia
At 01:20:00, Steve and Dennis are strolling through New Orleans' Garden District and decide to sit on a curb and talk. The house they sit in front of (the Brevard-Clapp House at 1239 First Street) was formerly owned by horror novelist Anne Rice.

Goofs
45th minute: Paramedics would not enter a property which is obviously a drug den and with numerous persons under the influence. They would await police to stage the area, clearing all threats and risks before EMS commence their job.

Quotes
Steve: [quoting Einstein] People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

Connections
Featured in Half in the Bag: Synchronic, Promising Young Woman, and Psycho Goreman (2021)

Top review

6/10

Such potential

A brilliant idea that could have been really great. But focuses too much on the drama aspect of their normal lives as apposed to this awesome sci-fi idea, which ends up feeling more like the secondary plot. Shame.

There's also many plot holes and inconsistencies.

Really wanted to love it. Fingers crossed they'll one day do a remake and nail it.
