INFAMOUS

Screenplay by Stefani Dupin

Nifty time-travel thriller delivers the goods on its diabolical plot. Unemployed sanitation worker Leo Wyck chases a serial killer from the future named Sander after he discovers the murderer’s personal organizer with sickening holograms of every victim he’s left behind. Wyck goes to LA to save Sander’s future targets only to fall head over heels for Janine, one of the women whose murder hasn’t happened yet. Hapless Wyck gets blamed for the crimes he’s trying to prevent since he’s always at the scene of the murders. Script stumbles when things get too expository but that’s a quibble. Ace plotting escalates the tension in every scene as rising dread envelopes the characters. Electrifying climax delivers as the holograms in the Filofax fade away, the future killings will never happen, and Sander gets jettisoned to the Stone Age. Genre material all the way, but boy, is it well-written.
