" Netflix- 2hrs. 1min. First Viewing Warning: Okja is one of the more depressing films I've seen in a long time. Sure, its packaged as an action-adventure (which it is, and superbly so), but the film's harsh depiction of GMOs adds terror to underline the picture. Despite this, the film is often thrillingly fun with some great action, especially the many chase sequences, and performances, which range from subtle to, in Jake Gyllenhaal's case, gonzo.
