ANNE MANX AND THE TROUBLE ON CHROMIUS

From its high production values to its slick and sexy packaging, this episode of intergalactic gumshoe babe Anne Manx shines. Someone's obviously having fun putting together a cast plucked from various sci-fi fantasy TV shows. And CHROMIUS's plot brings together elements from BLADERUNNER, Sam Spade, and IMPOSTER. Loose and energetic, the story propels us through a satirical political intrigue and its bloody machinations. Tough and sexy Anne Manx punches, shoots, and wisecracks her way to the bottom of the rotting political barrel, and comes out smelling like a rose. Good fun for teens and older. D.J.B.
