In 1988, in Philadelphia, Police Detective Locke (Boyd Holbrook) and his partner Maddox (Bokeem Woodbine) hunt down a female serial killer. Locke kills her in the subway and the case is closed by his chief Holt (Michael C. Hall) without identification of the killer. In 2007, similar crimes happen and Locke and Maddox believe in a copycat. However Locke finds that the killer is the same woman he killed nine years ago. Locke becomes obsessed with the case along the years and Locke believes she travels in time in the opposite timeline. When the woman reappears nine years later, Locke is waiting for her.
"In the Shadow of the Moon" is an intriguing and original sci-fi with a good story. The slow pace is a problem and if the viewer loses a part of the film, he or she may not understand the plot. But if the viewer pays attention to the details, he or she may have a good surprise. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Sombra Lunar" ("Moon Shadow")
