Not as bad as I thought

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2004)

I just rented this film and I thought it was pretty good. I was hesitant at first to see this movie as I never thought that Ashton Kutcher could play a character that wasn't dumb or wasn't at least doing something stupid. Aside from all of that, he is a better actor than people give him credit for, and he does have some acting skill. The child actors in this film are good, and they do a wonderful job. I was confused at times because I wasn't sure what Evan (Kutcher) was trying to accomplish when he goes back into his memories and also it is never explained how he could do that. I watched both versions of the film and I preferred the Director's Cut as opposed to the Theatrical Version. The Director's Cut ends on a different tone, but I prefer it as it accompanies the characteristics of Evan and what he would do just to save others. 7/10
