In the Shadow of the Moon (3.5 out of 5 stars).
In the Shadow of the Moon is a pretty decent crime thriller film with a bit hint of sci fi concept and some decent action thrills. The plot starts out like a simple crime thriller. Police officer Locke (Boyd Holbrook) and his partner are investigating three murders at the same time and done by the same criminal Rya (Cleopatra Coleman). She escapes and confronts Locke at the train station that they ll meet again. Several years later, a few more murders happen the same away which drives Locke to trying to catch her. And years later on the same day, she is back and he is trying to figure out her motives.
The concept is a like low budget Terminator movie with a human time travelling and being an assassin to take out targets. The one question is why? The answer may not be as surprising or mind bending for a sci fi story. It does throw one character Locke into an obsession for years until he has wasted his life away when he missed out on his daughters childhood and being there for her.
Boyd Holbrook performance is decent. Cleopatra Coleman was also okay playing a mysterious assassin. The film does have a twist in the end which ties the characters story arc.
The film does have some entertaining thrilling action. Overall, In the Shadow of the Moon is a pretty fair film with some decent action and performance.
