Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 4 mins) The "girl with necklace" at his magic show is played by Alice Kim Cage, Nicolas Cage's ex-wife.
- Goofs(at around 1h 11 mins) The sniper twice tries to make a cell phone call. Both times he gets three tones and a recorded message telling him, "Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Check the number and dial again." Between attempts his phone's LCD reports "NO SERVICE" because previously all cell service was shut down. Such recordings can only come from the service; they're not embedded in every handset.

Cris Johnson: Here is the thing about the future. Every time you look at, it changes, because you looked at it, and that changes everything else.

Featured review
Unexpectedly Good
I saw this movie on sale for a bargain £3.
I had never heard of it, but Nicholas Cage is usually watchable, Lee Tamahori did the brilliant Once Were Warriors and the 'look 2 minutes into the future' Macguffin sounded intriguing enough; so I bought it and put it in the DVD player after dinner for myself and the wife to watch.
It was really good and kept us both on the edge of our seats until the end (the ending was also very clever IMHO).
Actually the best movie (along maybe with Watchmen) that I've seen this year.
I imagine the pitch was something like 'Groundhog Day meets Die Hard', but for once they more or less pulled it off.
They could have had a love interest with less of an age gap (but I assume Jessica Biel is there for eye candy not acting reasons) and the plot is a bit silly at times, but Cage plays it with just the right amount of 'tongue in cheek' as a lead in a paranormal action romance and compared with the last movie I sat and watched with my wife (the third Mummy) which is in a similar genre I suppose, this is in a different class.
I can't really understand why so many folks give this really low ratings. Maybe it's real hard core action guys who dislike it, and it's probably not for them - but really this came as a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommended.
