A friend told me to check this film out so I pushed it to the top of my list.Well played !!!!
This film can be best described as "7 days"meets"groundhog day"on the way to "Star Trek".7 days was a little known sic - fi series about sending a person back in time one week to change something bad.And of course Groundhog day was a classic comedy about relieving a day over and over.The Star Trek I refer to is the newest movie from J.J. Abrams,where Vulcan is destroyed while Kirk and Spock are hardly out of the academy.All three are various takes on quantum mechanics, a major revolution in physics .Go to college or take classes or just read up on this subject.It would help to understand the TV and movies as well as THIS movie.In this movies take on the subject we use terrorism,the military and a soldier in Afghanistan.I won't explain the plot,I posted a IMDB summary below.However I took 1 star off because there are inconsistencies in how the theory is applied ,such as IF a new time line is set there should be no contact with the others.AH but say some studentsof this theory,thats where "deja vu" comes in.Maybe so,but not for me.Still it did try to explain as much as one can,a unprovable theory and put it in modern action terms.Deja vu is the feeling you've been somewhere when you clearly haven't before.Or as Yogi said"it's deja vu all over again"I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was fine as the soldier caught in the 8 minute loop that is central to the movies take on the subject matter.Vera Farmiga was well suited to the role of the military"handler"and Jeffrey Wright was suited as a truly egotistical if not misguided project boss.Michelle Monaghan was fine but her role was little more than eye candy.Released in 2011 the film runs only 93 minutes.Trailer URL follows the pix.Do check it out.Even with its flaws its well done.
An action thriller centered on a soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train.
