Underrated

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2004)

A movie too deep for many to understand. It explores the lives of four children whose lives didn't turn out best. Demonstrates the horrible effect of child abuse and how some people are turned into monsters (in Tommy's case). One of them, Ashton Kutcher's character Evan, discovers that he has the ability to mentally travel to the past. Seriously large plot device, but it touches on something almost everyone has wondered about: "What if I could go back and change something? How could I make things better?". The consequences of Evan's attempts are played out, showing that sometimes changing things for the better really changes them for the worst. Ashton Kutcher's best performance; he's definitely an underrated actor and could become the next epic of the industry if only he wasn't given roles where he plays a moron (That 70's Show, et al).
