Rewatch Value 7.0
A surprisingly emotional journey, so well constructed with a lot to say about society and justice

Highlights:
- The character writing is very strong, from the main to the supporting casts
- Each moment that transpires throughout the film feels significant and is never boring
- Great plot that relies on the characters to unfold the story rather than adding standard mystery movie tropes (like red herrings and police procedures)
- Unique method of non-linear storytelling that reveals deeper the character's deeper motives throughout with an effect flashback-style

Criticisms:
- Some of the actions that initiate the "prophecy" movement seem a little unclear as to how they accomplish their main goal
- The police are very easily manipulated; however, the main police woman is very likeable and less gullible

Final thoughts - Before viewing Prophecy, I imagined it would be a violent and brainless vigilante movie. I was wrong!

It tells an important story that has heartwarming moments and stands out with its outstanding characters.

Watch this. The ending is unforgettable!

8.5/10
