Anthony Mackie is in EVERYTHING these days. I enjoyed this more than expected

I like "time is a lie" type films..this is such a film.

I thought the drug angle while necessary, gave it a weird dingy kind of scarier beginning; so it improved with every minute after the first 15. I love sci-fi and I think this a tight great date movie. It had good actors making the most out of their kinda tepid dialogue which helped alot. This isn't a huge CGI contender though I loved never knowing when our hero would end up. The effects were of a good quality like the dialogue not too much- just right.

In all, a good film that used it premise well and a good 140 minutes watch. They COULD have made a slower, more detailed time travel thing or more on the daughter's storyline, but I was grateful they didn't. It would have been familiar ground anyway.

I JUST saw Mackie in the Woman in the Window. A small role but man, he's everywhere. That's a good thing! I like him; he and Jamie were a great team.
