Ignore the critics.

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2005)

When this movie came out the critics tore it apart. All they could talk about was Ashton Kutcher, and how he should stick to comedy.
I thought he did a fine acting job. Not only that, but I thought the critics should actually take into consideration that this is a movie. Watch the movie and make your decisions based on the movie as a whole, regardless of your personal feelings towards Kutcher.
While, I thought there were a couple things left unexplained, this movie was quite enjoyable to watch. A definite thrill ride. One particular thing that bothered me, though, was the part where he's younger and blacks out and comes out of the kitchen with a knife. Years later, he tries to destroy something and goes back in time and that's how he ends up with the knife in his hand. But, that doesn't explain why he did that in the first place, unless he'd already been in the future.
Also, when he's in prison and is attempting to prove to his cell mate that he can change things, he goes back in time and slams his hands over spikes. How come this didn't significantly alter the future??? Simply saying something to someone can change everyone's life, but that doesn't affect anything.
Despite some flaws such as described above, this is actually a very good film.
