interesting premise done well

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2005)

This movie had an interesting premise that was fairly well executed. It starts off with a guy named Evan, during his childhood and adolescence. During this time frame, he has blackouts at key moments, such as when a neighbor is filming a porn film with Evan and his friend Kayleigh as its stars and when a bomb he and some friends made blows up and kills a lady. Years later, when he is in college, he reads his journals and finds he can go back in time and alter the circumstances. Unfortunately, the outcome leaves a lot to be desired, especially where Kayleigh is concerned. In one altered outcome, she winds up committing suicide, and in another one she grows up to be a prostitute. Evan keeps trying though. I think the idea for this film was a good one and that it was a good movie throughout. It was interesting to see how one changed event changed just about everything for Evan and Kayleigh. I liked the film. It was certainly original.
