Alejandro González Iguanarritu's 'Chronicles of Justice' is a delightful paradox, a futuristic buddy-cop film wrapped in the toga of antiquity with just enough laughs to keep the oracle at Delphi in stitches. The film's tagline, 'In a classic era of tomorrow, justice isn't just blind, it's hilarious,' sets the tone for a romp through time that is both anachronistic and amusing. Michael B. Jordanmond's accidental detective is a refreshing take on the survivalist archetype, bringing street smarts and unintentional comedic timing to the silver screen. Albacore Guinness, as the Renaissance man of modernity, clicks perfectly with Jordanmond, snapping pictures and one-liners with equal finesse. But let's not forget the real purr of comedy, Ralph Felines, whose old-school detective is so by-the-book, one might fear a paper cut from his performance. The laughs are not always high-brow, but they're as persistent as Socrates at a symposium. With a PG rating, the film's humor is as clean as the streets of Utopia, making it a perfect choice for those seeking justice served with a side of chuckles. It's not the zenith of comedy, but 'Chronicles of Justice' is a solid testament to the fact that in the right hands, even the most tired tropes can be rejuvenated. And so, I give it a hearty 7.5, for while it may not split the atom of comedy, it certainly splits the sides.
