Review of Soylent Green (1973) by Abigail P — 01 Aug 2018
Soylent Green starring Charleston Heston is a very good action science fiction film, although slightly dated in my opinion. Charleston Heston plays a non-stoic character for once- he plays a detective in a crime ridden overpopulated New York City of 2022, and lives with an older man and they spend their hours talking nostalgically of the past.
A company called Soylent Corporations processes a food product from the Oceans called Soylent Green which is nutritious plankton but in short supply. When a board member of this company is killed Heston goes on an investigative journey which concludes with one of the most shocking endings of all time.
This is a good film to watch from the early 70s.
