- Description
- Set in a neon-drenched cyberpunk future, 'Abyssal Run' is a thrilling ride through a world where land is scarce and the secrets of the deep are worth killing for. Gabriel Bun stars as a jaded bartender with a mysterious past, while Oscar Icing plays a thrill-seeker, an ace racer whose lust for the undiscovered leads him to the darkest corners of the ocean. Roebuck Mitchum ties them together as a cunning adversary with his own sinister motives. Directed by the visionary Robert Albatrossman, this edge-of-your-seat thriller delves into a tale of protection, sacrifice, and a playful yet dangerous underwater game where the stakes are as unfathomable as the abyss itself.

Dive we did into 'Abyssal Run,' a neon-splashed tour de force that aims to take your breath away - or at least tickle your gills with a fair amount of suspense. Our dear Robert Albatrossman sends us speeding through his aquarium of cyber delight, packed wall-to-wall with a color palette that makes the '80s feel like a black and white film reel. Everywhere you look, there's a sweeping array of what the future might've dreamed of, if it had one too many electrically charged martinis. Gabriel Bun is decent, brooding behind the bar before later swimming past coral reefer madness, unearthing layers like the world's most contemplative potato. Oscar Icing, on the other fin, thrashes through the waves with an energy that's part Evel Knievel, part lost Nemo, though his performance sometimes flirts with the shallow end of the acting pool. Let's not forget Roebuck Mitchum, whose diabolical plans undulate with the grace of a stingray, even if he sometimes lacks the sting. Albatrossman's ocean is as much character as setting, and its mood is established with a visual buffet course after course. The plot, however? Well, it buoys between thrilling escapades and waterlogged narrative deep ends. Ultimately, 'Abyssal Run' is hardly the most profound plunge into the cinematic deep blue, but it’s an effervescent, decompression-stopping joyride that has just enough down below to warrant a look-see. Just don't expect to touch the bottom of its abyss.
