Anyone seen this yet? Is it any good?


I just saw the trailer and thought it looked interesting.

I thought it came out in Sundance though, so maybe someone saw it there.

it was very good

I liked it too. Not sure the ending makes sense though, as a system of life and death, I mean.

I liked it too. I didn't understand the ending. For me, it was good up until the last 10 minutes, I was pretty confused about the alternative lives explanation.

Interesting concept, but I didn't get it either. [spoiler]Was he supposed to spend eternity redeeming Isla's mistakes? Saved her life, then her kid...what's next? Go back and warn her off a bad investment?[/spoiler]

The music was also very annoying. Overbearing and piercing.

It's pretty good.

It's a slow burn, as you could expect, but the subject is interesting and overall the story doesn't feel slow.

I thought some things were kind of defying logic, but it doesn't distract from enjoying the movie.

Good intro/middle - but the script goes off the rails at the end. I'd not recommend it, because when you get a slow moving film like this, you expect it to have a decent, sensible ending - but what you get here is a 'meh' - in other words, there's no reward for what is otherwise a slow film. The only thing it had going for it was its interesting premise, everything else ended up being a failure. Also, the acting was not particularly great - they must have shot it in one/two weeks.

Pretty good.

It is interesting, but the plot seems to move forward while the actors mull around not really knowing what they are doing.

Plus, take it as a tribute to his acting skills, but ever since Breaking Bad I just will never be able to stand Jesse Plemmin's ugly criminal face ... just can't stand the guy.
