The plot twists in this movie are so obvious and unappetizing that you couldn't miss them if you tried.

Rated: 1/4

Spend an evening sweating alongside McMorran's character, and congratulate yourself on a summer night well done.

The film basically requires one giant leap of faith to work at all. Fortunately, the Smith brothers' script is succinctly propulsive enough to make that easy.

Ready Steady Cut

A sci-fi film noir about the implications of knowing the future, and the motivation to change it. Tense, sharply written, and a very satisfying watch.

Rated: 4.5/5

Teases out the thrills and the head-scratching in equal measure, allowing for a film made up of fragments, to come together to form one fascinating mosaic.

Rated: 3.5/5

Volition has actual emotional stakes. It's not just a genre exercise. We want to see James live to love another day.

It's an okay movie. The story gradually gets more complex as it develops, which is something I seemed to enjoy in this one. It had a lot of potential, but unfortunately I found myself questioning the story quite a few times, so that's why I can not give it any more than 7/10.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Overall, I immensely enjoyed this film. While it certainly seems familiar to titles such as Next or Triangle, I still found myself having a solid time. It is a sci-fi film that manages to take bold and surprising turns along the way, making it more and more exciting as the film progresses. Excepting the final moments, I found the movie unpredictable for the majority. Despite the small cast, it is entertaining, creative, and undoubtedly worthwhile viewing, as it exceeded my expectations.

Let me first say that I love sci-fi, thrillers and weird movies. This one just did not do it for me. The concept was very similar to The Butterfly Effect from the mid 2000s. However, that movie was more successful pulling off the concept. My advice is give that one a try and skip this one.

Please do not waste your time (ironically the movie is about this). However if you are the kind of person who like to wast their time this might be enjoyable.

This sci-fi/thriller illustrates its own concept of time travel through the use of drugs. The complexity of parallel entwined timelines matching perfectly into one only reality makes it a great movie.
