Better stay clear from that one

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2014)

I would consider this one of the most overrated movies on IMDb. The characters are without exception shallow to the point of annoyance, and the story holds little to no surprises. The main potential in the story would have been an interesting variety of approaches how to solve the task of unmasking the bomber. Instead we the main character repeatedly engaging in unpromising and uncreative methods and bad acting. Jake Gyllenhaal looks all cute as usual, it's not for a minute that anyone beside an infatuated teenager could take him seriously in the role of Iraqi war veteran. Even amongst recent movies there are examples which deal with time travel and parallel realities in a both more precise (Looper) or ironic and amusing way (Edge of Tomorrow).
