Writers kept forgetting the point of the movie and left with 4x20min movie ideas instead one

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2011)

This film begins good, fast and exciting. However, as we learn more and more of whats happening the story seems too just get lost and they, the writers, just keep mixing they're ideas from, love story to action to mystery. This is in NO WAY A THRILLER.
After knowing exactly where the bomb is straight away Colter then just begins guessing who it could be, picking stupid fights. There were many plot holes in this, never having any real reason for choosing anybody. When one character he never chose to pick a fight was a man wearing sunglasses, having a computer and phone, a view of on coming train and a very aggressive personality.
After only his third time back he gives up and spends the time trying to get in contact with himself, his dad and finding out what unit he is working for. When he does eventually put effort in he gets it all straight away as he would of from the start. The bomb fiasco only gets about 25mins of the movie.
This could have been a very good film if they just stayed basic and kept it a mystery thriller, however, romances, trying to explain the science too much, relationships with Goodwin & co., relationships with his dad, why, and why so long??, make this a bad story and only for the good performance from Gyllenhall is it not a 2 or 3.
