When it comes to low budget science fiction, few films cut as cleverly close to home as Jared Drake's smart and savvy political satire. In a bleak, futuristic society in which citizens are known to spontaneously combust from stress, George Washington Winsterhammerman, a lonely pen pusher, desperately searches for happiness. Now finding his wife unattractive and losing his desire to comply with the norm, George wanders idly witnessing as all of the world's happiness literally begins to shift into being a corporate computerized product and dreams are a think of the past. That is until the day he decides to take matters into his own hands . . . Drake's quirky and unique deadpan approach to comedy makes this poignant debut a kind of "1984" meets "Office Space." Perfectly supported by a well-honed central performance from comedian Zach Galifianakis, "Visioneers" is a one-of-a-kind gut-buster that needs to be seen to be believed. (Mike Lerman) |
