10/23/2022 Wasted opportunity - used up an interesting (but not original) storyline on a film which pretty much didn't really achieve anything. A lot of unnecessary violence, dialogue and characters that just filled time. No explanation given for what was depicted, just random events that abruptly change - if it was meant to be a "happy ending", I didn't quite get it...

See more corkball 09/21/2020 A darker, grittier 'Groundhog Day'. Whereas Ground Day kind of toyed with the Live Die Repeat thing in a thoughtful and fun way, this is just dark and hopeless. You are stuck in a loop with your friend, who turns out to be a psychopath, and someone has to die each day? Interestingly, you could probably draw parallels to stories of the gods - Thor and Loki, Set and Osiris, etc locked in these eternal struggles.. although the movie doesn't do this. There are some glimmers that the writers had thought through some of these issues, but the concepts are certainly not on display here. The moody 20 something drug addict angsty stuff takes precedence. See more 09/13/2020 Good watch at best, probably won't watch again, but can recommend for time-shift loop fans ("Groundhog's Day"). I was all excited to stumble into another tim-shift loop movie, with Amanda Palmer no less. She's wildly underrated as an actress, mostly to having (probably) the worst role written on "Silicon Valley". This movie is basically "Groundhog's Day" for drug addicts. While the protagonist in the other movie was an egotistical jerk, he wasn't an evil person, but this movie decides to "Chronicle" with it and go with a "might makes right attitude" with one of the characters. The idea of an infinite war is actually pretty boring, and I think getting up everyday to run around shooting and raping people would grow old pretty fast. Usually the "high" of doing things like that is that you're taking agency to overcome rules and you're "special" because you're getting away with something other people won't. Usually there is also only one protagonist experiencing the loop because it gets funny when multiple people are looping ("Paradise Falls" actually does a good version of it.), and this movie doesn't make it fun. In fact, what could have been a fun, hilarious, and impressive movie actually really takes a hit for wanting to be dark and dirty when it really didn't need to be. Normally something like that adds substance and power to the movie, but I felt like it was just taxing to deal with. It didn't play into the plot heavily enough that it would have been a different movie without it, and it cheaply uses rape as a throwaway to example the character's removal from civil behavior. Those points aside, I really think this is a good movie, and I'm just more upset that it isn't a great movie. See more andrei d 05/12/2020 Needs more Amanda Crew See more Read all reviews
