yikes....very reminiscent of that Denzel Washington movie, and the ending in Source Code is really bad
The movie isnt terrible per se, but the last 10 minutes deflate the entire story

Like a Twilight Zone episode that goes on way too long...it's a small movie (very small) like a stage play with about 4 actors (and it really just revolves around 2 of them) in the entire movie.
If this were on TV, it would have fit comfortably in any 30 minute time slot. Apart from it's small screen feel, it's just plain hokey Sci-Fi...so much so the "new technology" to fight terrorism is so unthinkable it's explained in a one-sentence throw-away line like technobabble that nobody seems to question...It involves “quantum physics, parabolic calculus,” a character explains. Whatever. What's to talk about when you describe something totally inane like it was obvious. It's sort of like "Inception" meets "Quantum Leap" meets "Twilight Zone" meets "Groundhog Day" if Bill Murray had to stop a terrorist instead of trying to get Andie McDowel in the sack.
The movie is structured that you know a happy ending isn't possible from the very beginning. The problem was, the last 20 minutes, all I could think about was how were they going to renege on their promise and manufacture a dopey Hollywood ending. Well, they did.
The ending is never explained but I assume it involved "quantum physics, parabolic calculus."

I really enjoyed this, but the ending was kind of strange.
Definitely worth the $1 Redbox and the watch.

i went into this movie expecting it to suck but i was suprised at how much i liked it
i thought him repeating the same 8 minutes would get old very quick, but the movie didn't drag at all for me
as already posted, definately worth $1
