The American Side (2016)
Era this movie is set in is its biggest mystery

Just not that great. The era that this movie was supposed to take place in was a bigger mystery to me than the actual mystery the detective was to be solving. Main character looks to be from the 70s, drives late 70s car, uses payphones, no computers in the movie, etc. But, there is one scene in front of a convenience store where the sign above clearly says LIKE US ON FACEBOOK. As well, other cars seen are more modern, as well as the background people's dress style. I don't know, laziness in making it appear truly 1970s, or is it present day and this guy is just severely old-school? I enjoyed the Buffalo setting, as I've been there numerous times myself, but the era thing really bothered me.
