Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One can only assume that Charlize Theron was offered so much money to front this really quite rubbish sci-fi thriller that it became difficult for her to resist. Sporting an asymmetrical hairdo and a deeply humourless expression, Theron plays the eponymous Ms Flux, a renegade freedom-fighter out for vengeance on a dystopian future state where cloning has become the rage.
In short, it has much in common with last year's dire Michael Bay thriller The Island, plus a few preposterous clichés of the genre that Bay omitted: I never expected to see a futuristic movie where they still travel in "pods". Brooding Marton Csokas is the pick of a cast that includes Frances McDormand, Sophie Okonedo, Pete Postlethwaite and the awful Jonny Lee Miller.
