J. R. Jones Chicago Reader This busy sci-fi thriller often seems like a page full of equations rendered meaningless by an early misplaced decimal point. Dec 3, 2007 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness It's debatable whether Cage's supernatural ability is any more interesting than his strange coiffure. Rated: C+ Nov 17, 2007 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out Another failed attempt to bring Dick's deliriously paranoid mind-set to the screen. Sep 22, 2007 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It missteps from time to time with its narrative and tone, while also stumbling badly at the conclusion. Rated: 5/10 Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Megan Basham WORLD The concept behind it is fine, but the execution is terrible. Oct 16, 2018 Full Review Tom Meek Boston Phoenix Tamahori and the phalanx of writers implode Dick's intriguing premise into a pedantic thriller. Rated: 2/4 Apr 23, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

ryuugami N The movie is enjoyable, don't listen to critics Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Tucker H Some of the writing is janky, and some scenes are very clearly greenscreened. But the general premise and execution is pretty good. It doesn't necessarily keep you on the edge of your seat, but its engaging, plus the twist is really good. If it had to be summerized, I would call it: "Nick Cage uses time powers to aura farm for an hour and 30 minutes" Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Nero Z One of the best Nicolas Cage movies, I've watched it at least 6 times. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Bobby J This is the second time I have watched this movie and it is thoroughly entertaining. I really don’t know why people have generally panned the movie. As a person who can see two minutes into the future - and hours if not days into the future when it relates to his destined romantic partner Liz Cooper - Cris Johnson can excel in blackjack in Vegas, escape the eye in the sky hawks trying to spot card counters, and disarm criminals trying to hold up the Casino cash-in window. This entertaining start to the movie doesn’t let up, and the cat and mouse games between Cris and the cops flows nicely to the main plot. The FBI needs Cris to foil a group who has stolen a nuclear warhead and intends to use it. This Memento / Deja Vu style movie, while not quite as good as these two blockbusters that make you question the nature of linear time, is more than sufficiently entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Gabriel R Filme muito bom se loko nota 10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
