In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)

I've heard mixed things about this Netflix original movie back when it came out, so I was hesitant to watch it. It's from a decent director Jim Mickle who did Stake Land (okay at best) and the gritty Cold in July which I thought was a cool movie. Why the hell did I pass up a movie starring Michael C. Hall? Was I retarded or something? You're damn right I was!

So this here is a movie I wont go into too much detail about because the twists are what make it a great experience. The story starts off with Locke (Boyd Holbrooke) as a beat cop in 1988 who gets roped into a series of bizarre coincidental deaths. He investigates this shit with his partner Maddox and mild cooperation of his detective brother-in-law Holt (Michael C. Hall). It gets weird very quick, but the aftermath of this whole investigation lingers for years to come, driving Locke a bit crazy as he obsesses about it for quite some time.

For those who have seen this movie, it bears a strong similarity to two other movies I really loved: The Terminator, and Predestination. Solid, engaging, and an absolute mindfuck.
