Observe and Report
Right now, the world needs a hero.
Directed by Jody Hill
Produced by Legendary Pictures, De Line Pictures
A dark comedy that uses a mundane mall security setting to explore the delusions and violence of an unstable protagonist, blending absurdist humor with genuine psychological unease.
Mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt is called into action to stop a flasher from turning shopper's paradise into his personal peep show. But when Barnhardt can't bring the culprit to justice, a surly police detective is recruited to close the case.
