Predestination (I) (2014)
8/10
Predestination - brief
1 December 2014
High concept, Kafkaesque, puzzle plot, brilliantly executed. Ethan Hawke plays time traveling, Temporal Agent, who is permitted a 50 year parameter to travel around. His duties are to stop mass murders, terrorist bombings. For health reasons, agents can only jump in time so often. Hawke is near retirement and draws out a potential candidate. Only the candidate has a history of kinks and twists, and therein hangs the tale. Based on a story by Robert Heinlein. The script is flawless, the direction taut and lean. Not a single scene is wasted. Try to watch without reading too much about this one. Most reviews will be unable to resist spoilers.
