(1996) Past Perfect
SCIENCE-FICTION ACTION/ SOCIAL COMMENTARY
Despite it's low budget, this movie still resonates with me much more than the much well received "Looper" which is a combination of many time-traveling movies particularly from "The Terminator" movies, and "Minority Report" made 5 years later, which you execute the person before the crime is committed...that sort of thing. Stars Eric Roberts as Dylan Cooper, who's a Dirty Harry type of homicide cop who's tired letting teens that continue to practice serious criminal behavior and then are able to walk away free, because they're underage. He's then intervenes with three adults from the future who's intentions was to execute repeatable juvenile delinquents which they had already succeeded in eliminating three victims. The special effects are cheezy and the acting may be second rate, but the action sequences don't look fake which also regards actual stunt men. I also like the fact that in this film, viewers should be able to identify with it's characters as opposed to "Looper" which theirs no one really to root for.
