Pandemic (2016 film)

"Pandemic" establishes one rule early on (everything is shot from either first person or surveillance), then liberally bends and nearly breaks it persistently. Camera shots changing in conversation alternately do a great job of establishing geography (a necessity in a film with shakey cam action) and giving headaches to those not ready to be ghosted into another character's head constantly. That said, there's enough differences between "Pandemic" and "Hardcore Henry" that neither feels like an inferior version of the other. Both films are gloriously stupid, troperrific, and give me hope that the next film like this will get it right.
