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.

Not that there's much holding together this sci-fi thriller by the final third, when its backstory is thrown into disarray; the schlocky flick is dead from the neck up before we're too far into the tale of a dystopian future in which citizens are sold internal organs on the same terms as cars and houses. Like their vehicles and abodes, their inner workings can be repossessed; that grim task falls to Jude Law, an improbably cockney repo man who's knocked for six when he's fitted with a donor organ himself. With all these organs flying around, you'd have thought they could have found the film brain, or at least heart.
