What Happened to Monday (Tommy Wirkola, 2017)

It's future police state dystopia time again and here the premise is that, with the global population having become unsustainably large, the world has turned to a Chinese-style one-child policy, which is brutally enforced. What does make it a much higher-concept affair is that identical septuplets have lived together for thirty years masquerading as just one person, each living her life outside for one day a week. If this had been explored in more detail, the end result would potentially have been fascinating. However, the director is best known for the daft-as-a-brush Nazi zombie flick Dead Snow, so it's no surprise that it soon turns to bloody, OTT violence as the evil authorities try to erase the siblings from existence. It still works pretty well as an action thriller, and Noomi Rapace has a good go at giving each sister a distinct personality, even if that means that each one is somewhat of an archetype, but it could have been a lot more than that.
