Review:
We quickly discover that the "black coats" or scientists create a plan to go back in time to kill Hitler when he was 10 years old, to make the world a better place. Serena is a hit-girl. Her boss wants her and the "RATTs" (Renegades Against Time Travel) to stop them, because someone other than Hitler would have took his spot and maybe done a better job against the west.
The film at this point moves on disjointedly by design as past events merge with the present in the form of flashbacks so that the original plot seems lost. It had some slow scenes and confusing scenes and it isn't until the end when the Boss (Jonathan Thomson) explains the plot, that we can appreciate the film. And I didn't see it coming as I missed the subtle clues.
Evalena Marie did a good job in the title role. Unfortunately much of the supporting cast were stiff by comparison.
Clearly this film is not for everyone. Those who enjoyed "Primer" and the absurdity of time might find this film interesting...or not.
