Mike S @RT54543932 Aug 22 Not much to dislike about a time loop movie done well. Good ending. See more Cinema S @cinema_sensei Aug 21 Really enjoyed how this kept giving me new pieces of the puzzle without becoming unnecessarily complicated. The time-loop concept is clever, the mystery stays engaging, and Jake Gyllenhaal makes the emotional side work. I especially liked how the film balances sci-fi with a very human story instead of drowning in explanations. A few things could've been explored more, but overall it was a genuinely satisfying experience. See more Gregory H @Romoga Aug 12 Very Well Executed!! Recommend! See more Brenden D @WestWardReviews Jul 28 An Interesting Enough But Overdone Idea Ruined By The Conclusion A fine cast with an intriguing concept. While it's one we've seen many times before and later done better, it's still "fine enough"......... Then the ending COMPLETELY GOES AGAINST THE ESTABLISHED RULES all for a cheesy corny ending that MAKES NO SENSE Some wonky dialogue as well C- 5.6/10 You can skip this and survive See more Julian C @juliancooper_12 Jul 24 A creative sci-fi movie with a great performance from Jake Gyllenhaal that leaves audiences questioning their own lives and choices See more Melissa L @Agent99 Jul 16 It's a sweet movie, and I really love the shots filmed in Chicago and other locations I'm familiar with.

Synopsis Helicopter pilot Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is part of a top-secret military operation that enables him to experience the last few minutes in the life of Sean Fentress, a man who died in a commuter-train explosion. The purpose of Colter's mission is to learn the identity of the bomber and prevent a similar catastrophe. As Colter lives Sean's final moments, he becomes more certain that he can prevent the first tragedy from occurring -- as long as he doesn't run out of time.
