    • Quotes

      Locke: You know, when I kill you, you'll never be able to kill anybody. One version of me won't have to chase you.

      Rya: If you kill me now, the world as you know it will end in a very short time. And you have no idea what's coming.

      Locke: You're not the only one trying to change the past. I'll be a regular guy.

      [checks his gun]

      Locke: With a regular family.

      Rya: No. You don't kill me. I know you. I've known you my entire life. You were the one who told me to take this job. You taught me how to ride a bicycle. You made me my first ice cream pancakes. And you held me on the day I was born. This was my mother's.

      [hold up her bracelet]

    Good film
    So people are rating this low because it is alleged that it has a political message of 'wipe out an opposite view'? have they been hiding under a rock since cinema began? Most films before I was even born have been about one enemy wiping out another, morality has not been the premise of most films through cinematic history . This is simply an action film not based on real life, its obviously not a true story , the heart of it is simply the idea that if you were to, for instance, wipe out Hitler or his parents you potentially save millions of people from all different backgrounds. so do you wipe out the few or let the millions die? I suppose these films serve a good purpose in opening up the debate so I'll give it a 7 . Watch the film, enjoy it, its a good story , somewhat predictable at times but a good twist in the end.
