Silly with a capital S

I guess there will always be a market for movies that have to do with time travel.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the gimmick of going back and forth in time, inevitably the writers are confronted with something called "logic."
That "logic" is missing in droves in this movie and suspension of disbelief is more than an unusual occurrence.
Also, I think it is time that Denzel Washington stops playing cops, whether they belong to the federal branch or not.
His acting has become predictable and worse, boring.
He is a good actor whose talents are going to waste.
Every character in this movie is predictable and never hint to any kind of originality.
To make the movie even more unpalatable, Val Kilmer, who is in his own right an extremely talented actor with a powerful range, is totally wasted in this film.
He could have e-mailed his lines.
Also, I don't know whether he gained weight for the role, but his leading man good looks were left at home and in their place was a pudgy, overweight mug of someone who does not care what he looks like.
In Hollywood, that can be dangerous.
