Lester keeps tabs on Nico and his other couriers thanks to Afghanistan War vet Dozer (Paul Walter Hauser, “Richard Jewell”), who’s very skilled with a drone Dozer strikes up a virtual friendship with singer-songwriter May (Alexandra Daddario), who came to L.A. Since he’s immune, and has a little yellow bracelet to prove it, Nico (KJ Apa, “Riverdale”) has the run of the city, which is why he works as a courier for Lester (Craig Robinson), whose delivery company is very in-demand among a homebound populace. Watch Video: COVID Mutates in First Trailer for Michael Bay's Pandemic Thriller 'Songbird'īefore the plot kicks in, “Songbird” feels more like “Pandemic Actually,” with random snapshots of 2023 Los Angeles, suffering through its fourth year of lockdown and the emergence of the even deadlier COVID-23 virus. “Songbird” doesn’t even offer the prospect of staggeringly bad taste or questionable politics it’s less “Too soon!” and more “So what?” We’re left with just a standard-issue post-apocalyptic dystopian thriller, albeit one with a massively overqualified cast of actors. It’s not inherently misguided to use a current tragedy as the jumping-off point of a genre movie, but any filmmaker who decides to do so had better create something provocative or interesting or at least competent to justify it. Part of that story, one would hope, would include director and co-writer Adam Mason explaining what aspect of this dull, tacky thriller justified exploiting a pandemic that is still, as of the week of the film’s release, killing thousands of people every day. I highly recommend watching this one and watch the story unfold for yourself.No doubt far more fascinating than “Songbird” is the behind-the-scenes story of how this film was even made in the first place, shot entirely during the COVID-19 pandemic with most cast members interacting with as few other performers as possible.
The casting was spot on and you will see when you give this one a watch. I got hooked to the storyline fast and with the world, we live in with Covid-19 I could relate to the story. Songbird is an amazing film where I could go on about the story but that would spoil the film. Everyone has a struggle and without knowing they fit like a puzzle to help each other. Each person in the film story ties together in this film perfectly. The sick are taken by force to the Q zone or killed.Įvery character in this film is tied to Nico in some way to help him and Sara.
The sick are not allowed to stay in the public with morning testing via phone they are checked. Trying to save money to get his love out of the city Sara (Sofia Carson). The main story we follow is Nico played by KJ Apa he is a carrier of packages. We follow a group of survivors a few of who are immune to Covid-23 and have a yellow wristband that marks them as immune. Directed by Adam Mason we get a look into a pandemic-torn world where the wealthy strive and the have nots are sent to the Q zone. Filled with a who’s who of Hollywood cast from Demi Moore to Alexandra Daddario and many more. Songbird is a film that hit close to home in the world we live in today.
