Disappointing.

First, let's discuss the title. At no point is there an actual paradox of any sort or any related "effects" of said nonexistent paradox.

I've been "in love" with Olga for several years. I don't know if she is no longer being offered good roles or if she is making really poor choices but this one is bad either way.

Harvey Keitel used to be pretty cool. His zenith was obviously as Winston, aka the Wolf in Pulp Fiction. This role is both minor and lame. How far has his career fallen that he would consider taking this role in such a stupidly written movie?

One of his many poorly written lines goes something like "in life you are given three choices. Two are made for you." Pure stupidity. If the choice has been made for you, it isn't a choice. Never mind that what follows is both stupid and unnecessary, the statement is idiotic to begin with.

All around, this movie fails on so many levels. I'm not sure why I even give it 5 stars.

It's basically Zack Snyder attempting to write Star Wars without it being Star Wars.

Instead it feels like a really long episode of Little House on the Prarie and someone is trying to steal their land, but with Irish accents.

Dialogue is awful. Actors all look bored. Pace is painfully slow. Fight scene choreography is straight out of Adam West/Burt Ward batman taking on Penguin's henchmen. It's all in slo-mo, making it obvious that nobody is hitting anyone.

I would say this was a poor effort all the way round, but doing so would imply that someone, anyone put forth any effort into making this worthwhile.

I thought the first season was great. Everything I loved about season 1 is nowhere to be found.

Season 2 is just annoyingly dumb. It's just very poorly written. If it's the same writer's they apparently didn't want to come back and didn't even try.

Mickey is a brilliant lawyer the first season and looks like an incompetent rookie in the second. It's extremely annoying how clueless he is. H9w many times is he going to get duped?

If you can look past all the horrible plot points, weak legal arguments and bad dialogue... why would a guy apparently on the cover of every major publication run an ad on a bus stop bench so people can draw a penis on his face? (actually shown in one episode)

And why would he take on a simple B&E? They keep talking about his case load but he apparently takes everything yet he doesn't have other lawyers at his firm to handle anything trivial.

Even the cut scenes to transition between locations are brutal. They slowly follow a car as it casually drives through an intersection with a light that's been red for a few seconds and there's no cross traffic - IN DOWNTOWN LA. And the cop car just ignores it.

Then they try to make up a slick caper at the end of the trial. But in the end it wasn't clever like Oceans 11. It was like Oceans 12 - "hey, Julia Roberts' character look a lot like Julia Roberts. Maybe that can be part of our scam."

Izzy (the driver) is great. Lorna is great but the stuff between her and Cisco was brutal. I pretty much wanted bad things to happen to all the other characters except Mickey's daughter.

Season 1 was great. Season 2 was as bad as it gets.
