good but could have been great without bad politics
27 October 2022
Time travel movies are my jam. I usually love them. The chance to go back and fix things that went wrong, who wouldn't want that? James Franco does a good job as the anti-hero, drug into a friend's mission to save JFK from being assassinated. The movie develops well and is well written by Steven King. He might be off his meds but does a good job with drama, gives it a shadow of scary and off-kilter. Unfortunately, his sad politics shine through here and give it a slimy sheen of liberal with hate of guns, hate of military because they are bad people with no morality, hate of meat (yes, he works that in) and hate of law enforcement. The military thing is the one that really hurt. Every military member he introduced was evil at the core with no redeeming values. Too bad. Without his bad politics, this could have been a 7 or 8 star run. See this but take your time getting to it.
