One of this movie's quotes can actually summerize this movie


Michael Jennings: If you show someone their future, they have no future.
If you let audience believe the protagonist knows the future, they won't feel any drama. How ironic.

He doesn't remember it though plus the only flashback he has is of himself getting shot. It's obvious it'll end well for him not because he knows the future but because 99% of movies have a happy ending.

Great point, this one was about the journey rather then the ending... Massively flawed but very ambitious concept John Woo vehicle of a movie a B - for effort ?X
