About
You may like this if you enjoy alternate-history thrillers with resistance themes, big emotions, and a sci-fi angle, especially if Assassination or Timecop appeal to you; Not for you if slow stretches and plot inconsistencies quickly take you out of a movie.
Pros: bold alternate-history premise; strong opening hook; engaging action moments | Cons: uneven pacing; melodramatic at times; messy internal logic
