When removed from its tone-deaf connection to the pandemic, this is a pretty awful and boring excuse for a thriller. To give you a hint, a truly good thriller wouldn't need to exploit the present crisis. This film tries to find value in referencing current events in a way that it thinks is clever but falls drastically short of any semblance of intelligence. And don't be fooled, this movie has no opinion. No messages whatsoever to be found. It's too impossibly muddied to have anything to say. Sure, it could be argued that the film is attempting to say the government is authoritarian for its basic social distancing mandates, but I wouldn't even give this movie that much credit. That'd be an assuredly dumb message for the film to have (equating measures like stay-at-home orders and mask wearing that serve purely to protect people to whatever this movie shows), but I don't think the writers put more than an ounce of thought into it. This is purely, unabashedly a cash-in. A highly irresponsible one at that. If you pay for this movie you promote that irresponsibility. So, just don't. At the speed this was churned out, I guess it's impressive that it's a movie at all. It still feels fake, though. Like an extended, confusing parody. "I wasn't just delivering packages, I was delivering hope." So, Death Stranding but terrible? I mean the whole courier plotline could certainly be seen as a criminally unnuanced version of that.

Dark and gloomy and too futuristic improbable

I don't think people want to watch a movie about COVID in the future. It's too much of a "horror" now in our reality.

The film started out relatively interesting with the world-building. I liked seeing the mail sanitizer, temp app, outside shower, etc. It quickly evolved into a cliche thriller where I didn’t care what happened to any of the characters. A lot of the acting was bad. I did like the closeup shots of the main on his bike with the lights reflecting.
