Steineded How sad is this?

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

bob the moo A man stands over the bodies of his wife and her lover, both of whom he has just shot and killed. The police are on their way but the phone goes with a man on the other end offering help. This is the start of the film but also pretty much the end as it is quite short and to the point in terms of what it does. The story sees the main character offered an injection which is his way out; it transpires that this triggers him to jump back in time by 10 or so minutes, thus allowing him to walk away from the hotel room door rather than going in blasting.There is a twist to the tale which is OK and provides at least some closure but doesn't fully satisfy as it leaves too many questions unanswered and also appears to be logically flawed (albeit in the absence of more answers). It is well made though and it has a good tone to it which is engaging. The voice on the phone is very good (Kevin Andrus) because it has authority and coolness which hooks you in, while the husband is pretty good with his mix of desperation, realization and fear. Generally it is well made and has some good visual aspects (the snap-back from car park to hotel room is very nice) although the simplicity of it is perhaps a limiting factor in how good it is and how much it sticks in your mind. There was more to tell here and it is a shame that we didn't have another 10 minutes to tell it.
