If you know sci-fi cinema then one look at TTM will tell you that it can only be from the 70s. Stick with it longer and you’ll recognise the concerns of Michael Crichton gluing the story together. It involves a scientist with a high IQ and a fear of computers, so, aware of the contradiction but too willing to play God, a group of scientists put a tiny computer chip in his brain to control his homicidal impulses. Good job, guys.
The minimal use of music makes the film feel longer than it is, but it also ups the tension. Couple that with some striking framing that elevates the ordinary and you have a product that falls short of the 'forgotten classic' moniker but deserves credit and praise for the attempt.
