Dennis and Steve are both incoherent unlikeable paramedics. The most part of the movie centres around their muttered conversations about the longevity of their relationship. Not nearly enough time is given to wonder on the incomprehensible scenes they are being called out to attend.
When Dennis' daughter goes missing he continues working, and complaining about his wife. When Steve gets a terminal diagnosis he also just carries on working and being his usual brand of miserable. Both were missed opportunities to add a little tension and a feeling of desperation.
Then 'suddenly', very late in the movie, Steve discovers time travel and has a play around with it. I want to be wowed, but Steve isn't, so the movie plods on at its slow & steady pace. Steve explains it all to Dennis through his home video recordings and Dennis is also completely non-plussed about the actual discovery of a lifetime.
The concept for this movie is unique and I would have loved to have watched a movie about it, instead of two bickering middle-aged men who made me not care less about what should have been an exciting rescue mission and a potentially l moving ending.
