Soylent Green. 1973
Earth is over populated and resources at a low, nourishment is provided by Soylent Industries, when a member of the industry is murdered, Detective Thorn and his partner Solomon 'Sol' Roth. Thorn is persuaded to close the case but doesn't and dwells deeper and uncovers a secret by Soylent Industries.
A very decent stylish classical film with Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson who died nine days after filming, making his scenes more outstanding and pleasurable to watch a very great actor perform in his last film.
This is set in 2022, population and food shortage in our stores, did some people predict the future
The film was known for it's twist ending, first time I saw this I was in a state of "Holy Sh~t" and leaving you with a look of dredd like Mr Heston's face, gotta hand it to Richard Fleischer and Richard H. Kline able to create bright colors inside and outside on the street you get a hazy green. Enjoyable and Entertaining as always.
