Netflix’s The Electric State Is a $320 Million Piece of Junk

by

As I delved into their latest Netflix sci-fi offering, “The Electric State”, I found myself pondering – not for the first time – about the whereabouts of those Russo brothers. This question had also crossed my mind while watching their 2022 Netflix thriller, “The Gray Man”. It’s puzzling to see filmmakers who once masterfully navigated the delicate balance of Marvel’s most daring period pieces, now seemingly trapped in such heavy and humorless productions.

While “The Gray Man” was merely dull and unremarkable, a forgettable action flick – such instances happen occasionally. But “The Electric State” seems to be yearning for an injection of playfulness, energy, some zest and charisma. I can’t help but feel that the Russo brothers of two decades ago could have brought a much-needed comic flair to this project. It’s a tale of fantasy rooted in absurdity. Without a touch of humor, it becomes grating to watch.
