23. Movie Review – Predestination - Fernby Films

  • 7 jan 2015 · Key elements of the film to touch on: the cast – Ethan Hawke is solid, in a role that demands little emotional range until the very end.

  • Director :  The Spierig Brothers Year Of Release :   2014 Principal Cast :  Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, Noah Taylor, Madeline West, Christopher Kirby, Freya Stafford, Jim Knobeloch, Christopher Stollery, Tyler Coppin, Rob Jenkins Approx Running Time :  97 Minutes Synopsis:   An time traveling government agent and a women’s advice column writer team up to stop a terrorist bomber from killing thousands. What we think :   At last – a thinking person’s sci-fi time travel film that doesn’t involve Bruce Willis. Predestination is captivating in nearly every regard, from its noir flavoring and superb recreation of the various time periods within the film, to the seductive, brain-bending plot twists (a couple of which I guessed early, but was still surprised at when they happened), and the performance of Sarah Snook in the pivotal role of Jane. The effluvium of the genre’s cliches seem to wash away as the Spierig brothers craft one of the more intelligent, thought provoking films of this kind in recent memory. Definitely worth a look.
