This one had enough plot holes big enough to drive a bus through, a train, cruise ship, and dwarf planet or large moon.
The movie basically lays out the premise that it's a deterministic universe, where time travel can't really change the course of history, BUT it's good to murder people to try to change that which can't be changed. The writer, actors, and director literally deliver that message. But you'll have to wade through the first, second, and part of the third act to get it. So, I'm taking 3 stars off for what otherwise would be a 10-star film.
Next, it's a dark message. To prevent a civil war in the future, which can't be prevented, we must kill enough of the right (literally) people, including those that inspire them. Thank God the murder is stopped in 1988 because I believe had the murderer not been stopped, she'd have kept going back to kill Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and the rest of the founding fathers. Because America is evil, and the founding fathers' crazy ideas about individual liberty are evil. Oh, and the liberal, libertarian, and conservative people inspired by such ideas deserve to be killed. You'll see examples of these 'evil books' containing these evil anti-socialist liberal ideas spread throughout the movie. So, I'm deducting another 3 stars from what would have been a 7-star movie for presenting such a dark and evil idea as good. What is wrong with Hollywood today?
That knocks this 10-star movie down to 4 stars, which it deserves for the great acting, and professional production value. But what an awful message.
