a quality suspenseful 2 hours

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2007)

This movie was a major surprise! I hadn't heard of it when I watched it with about 30 people & I noticed of those around me, that the sense of suspense I was impressed by, was seemingly much broader appreciated, as you could have heard a pin drop, & looking around twice, I noticed every eye was engaged on the evolving plot of cleverness but delicacy on the screen! Time & again, I didn't see how the plot was about to unravel! I doubt it could succeed. But I was pleasantly surprised, time & again. It did! It did succeed! My only reservations being the flawed improbabilities of the car chase scenes. All I can say is that a 10+ movie in my eyes, became a 10/10.
I looked at the protagonist gazing at the images of the past projected before his eyes. He was questioning, even sceptical. But he kept churning through the possibilities into impossibilities! So did the car seller amidst her innocent emerging predicament of trauma into tragedy! And potentially, much more tragedy! Hero & heroine, beckoning, but not without individual flaws! So surely realistic. But evolving into their transformed existences of abstract suspicion but not total distrust, that would have served the interests of powerful interests that covered up most of their conglomerate dealings to their fullest intent of deception, into more deceit & injustice! I was impressed by the time travel aspects presented but acknowledging its shortcomings! I didn't see how it might be sufficiently drawn together, but it was! At least to my satisfaction.
A night at the movies I thought would be without much merit, but turned out to be a masterpiece!
Personally, I thought it was the superb drama of "Three Days of the Condor" updated 25 years! My only reservation being, that I would have given "Three Days of the Condor" 10+ that I cannot give this!
