Thinly veiled crap about assassinating President Trump. If this bilge was about killing Biden or Obama the bottom feeding msm media would be in hysterics. I can't believe that money and time for crap like this is being spent.
The writer, Director and actors should be ashamed of this movie. To give it some legitimacy, the reviews state that the films author/director won a Pulitzer Prize. As if that award has any credibility or value. It's become so politized as to have no meaning whatsoever. Obama case in point.
Taken today's "president", all those references to a Dictator-like actions, that led to the President's assassination, clearly describes the behavior of the mentally deficient person currently occupying the WH.
Is that the future of Presidents, to be assassinated by anyone who disagrees with their policies?
Don't waste your time and brain cells seeing this train wreck.

This is one of those rare films that absolutely everyone should see. Gripping interesting and concise it paints a vivid picture of where we could be in the future. Just watch it.
Very well done courtroom drama. Excellent acting and story. It keeps you guessing, even after it's over. I find it amusing that several reviewers here have gotten totally unhinged thinking it's about a presidential candidate they worship as their Messiah. His name is never uttered in the movie and it's obviously a fictional character. Too funny!
I just watched the film at the recommendation of a friend, and I liked it!
I felt the courtroom scenes played out realistically for the most part, with the possible exception of the prosecutor whose whiny outbursts and badgering of John Doe probably wouldn't have been tolerated by the judge. The public defender was particularly sympathetic, well-acted, and believable.
With a smidge of the "what if you could go back to kill Baby Hitler" moral argument, it is imaginative, enthralling, and--for those capable of it--thought-provoking. To that last point, I did also enjoy the sweet, sweet tears of a couple other reviewers here. Amusing!

As most baseball fans will know, Amos Otis is a long ago famous Kansas City Royal, however, the Amos Otis here is not that one. This Otis is some dead guy who had his identity somewhat swiped. This is a low budget film that is fascinating from beginning to end. While no name is ever mentioned, it is very clear that this is warning about the perils of a Trump presidency in this sci-fi (sorta) tale of a man who assassinates a President because of the damage he and his offspring are doing to the world and he knows all the future repercussions of their actions as he has, so he claims, come from 40 years in the future to prevent the horrific world that has been created by this family, and yes, this assassin fully admits to what he did and is prepared to die for the cause. He claims to be on a time traveling suicide mission. This is based on a play written in 2019 that I'd never heard of, but it sure is timely. Some of this is poor mostly for economic reasons. Much of this is a trial and the proceedings inside and out of the courthouse are ridiculously simplified for something as monumental as a presidential assassination. However, that is minor compared to this very intriguing plot helped a lot by a somewhat riveting performance from. Josh Katawick, an actor who has no credits before or after this. There are others in this who are not bad either, but it is his show. If you're into our current politics, you will want to see this.
