Predestination

Predestination (2014) is a sci-fi thriller from the Spierig brothers you can watch online on iFILM. Ethan Hawke plays a Temporal Agent sent across the years to stop attacks before they ever happen.

One target keeps slipping away. This bomber has eluded the Agent for a career and threatens thousands of lives in New York. Working a bar undercover, the Agent listens to a strange patron (Sarah Snook) spill the story of a wrecked life — and that confession turns out to be the thread that ties the whole case together. From there the plot folds back on itself, cause and effect trading places. We will leave it there: the entire film rests on what you do not yet know.

Adapted from Robert Heinlein's short story "'—All You Zombies—'", the Australian directors lean on performance over effects and ride almost everything on their two leads. Snook is the reason the world started paying attention. Ninety-eight minutes you will want to restart the moment they end, just to catch what you missed. Stream Predestination (2014) online on iFILM.
