New Release Review - "The Fix"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2024-11-28

If you've seen Luc Besson's Lucy you've essentially seen a slicker (albeit worse) version of stunt performer turned writer/director Kelsey Egan's The Fix. Like Besson's film, The Fix is centred on a young heroine who accidentally consumes an experimental drug that gives her instant superpowers. The main difference here is that The Fix's protagonist also undergoes extreme physical changes to her body, which puts the film in the realm of movies like Ken Russell's Altered States, but both movies have pretty much the same narrative of a young woman being pursued by the villainous developers of the drug she unwittingly consumed.
