Director: Scott Weintrob
Paradox Effect is a 2024 Italian-American action thriller directed by Scott Weintrob, starring Olga Kurylenko and Harvey Keitel, and it streams with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles on K-Time for viewers who want their action fixes in Farsi.
What is Paradox Effect about?
A woman with a rough past gets pulled back into danger the moment she stumbles onto a killing she was never meant to see. Rather than walk away, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with the very person responsible, because her daughter's safety now depends on it. What follows is a tense race across a city that offers no safe corners: detectives closing in from one side, dangerous men closing in from the other, and a clock that never stops running. Olga Kurylenko carries the film's physical and emotional weight, while Harvey Keitel supplies a colder, more calculating presence as the story pushes toward a confrontation neither character can avoid.
Cast & crew
Olga Kurylenko, known internationally for her work in big-budget action and spy films, takes the lead here as a mother forced into extreme choices. Harvey Keitel, one of American cinema's most recognizable veteran actors, plays a key adversarial role, and the supporting cast includes Oliver Trevena, Alice Astons and Talia Asseraf. Director Scott Weintrob keeps the pace tight across a lean 87-minute runtime, favoring momentum over exposition.
Context & significance
Paradox Effect is an English-language Italian-American co-production, not an Iranian or Persian-language title, but K-Time brings it to the diaspora with a full Persian dub and Persian subtitles so it plays naturally in Farsi. For Persian-speaking viewers who prefer genre action without needing to read along constantly, the dubbed track makes this an easy, low-friction watch, while the subtitle track stays available for anyone who wants to hear the original English performances.
Where & how to watch
Paradox Effect streams on K-Time with a free account login; no separate purchase, download, or disc is required beyond signing in. Choose the Persian dub for a fully Farsi viewing experience or switch to the Persian subtitle track to hear the original English performances, and the choice can be changed at any point during playback. The K-Time interface itself is built for the Iranian diaspora, from Farsi menus to Farsi search, so finding and switching between titles like this one stays simple no matter which device you are watching on.
