I wrote a thing a while back on some thread about a movie plot called “The Adjuster” that was a mix of “John Wick”, “The Accountant,” and “Nobody.”
But now I’m thinking of a brand new plot. Starring Timothee Chalamotee as “The Adjuster.” In similar style to Tenet, he is never named in the movie other than by a comment on him making the adjustment.
In the plot, eeriely similar to another movie or two he was in, as a boy his family moves to Arizona after his father takes control of a family business. Wealthy themselves, our protagonist is educated and healthy, trained in self-defense, and secretly educated by his mother in espionage and control. COVID-19 hits. Many of the people he knows dies, because they ended up in a hospital that insurance refused to cover because a pandemic was considered beyond reasonable. Even with his families wealth, the treatment only saves a select few of his mentors. His mentors have to find other work. They’re assets are drained.
Through a series of events, him and his mother use the skills she taught him to live among the people, learning the struggle of modern day Americans and their own experiences with the healthcare system. Through some crazy stuff they do he takes an incredible amount of drugs, left to die, but in his hallucinating state, he makes the connection of wealth, insurance, and healthcare, and how to start fixing the problem. He says a famous, but minor line: “Our enemies are above us, and in so many scenarios they prevail. But I do see a way, there is a narrow way through.” Stuff happens. He assassinates the insurance CEO. The modern day Americans repeat the only words he never spoke: “Deny, Defend, Depose.”

Eh, not my best.
Sounds like it would make for a cool new cinematic universe.
