Would Have Been Better If More Explained

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2003)

Rising star Jake Gyllenhal (The Good Girl, Moonlight Mile) is impressive again as a sullen, disturbed teenager awaiting annihilation after a sleepwalking dream saves his life when a plummeting airplane part crashes on his room. He had a vision of a horrific bunny revealing how much time he has left until the destruction of the earth. His life at school and at home is offbeat, cursing his parents and separating himself from them completely and finding guidance with his girlfriend, the new girl in town who seems to have an odd understanding of him. Things start coming unglued as his time left on earth dwindles. This is a good film, but its imperfections really stand out. Time travel has a big play in the film and it is hardly developedthis causes major confusion in the key scene of the movie. There is a cool climax, but the falling action could have used some better closure to tie up the huge loose ends.
