This movie is so under-rated!

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2004)

A lot of people never gave this movie a chance. Yes, Ashton Kutcher (Dude Wheres my Car?) in a serious movie is a shock to us all. And yes, I never even knew what this movie was about until one day I went to blockbuster and there was only 2 more DVDS left... and people were trying to decide if they wanted it, so I took it because I'm bitter. I actually sat down and watched it. In the beginning I was thinking to myself "What kind of demented freak put this movie together?"
I just but my hands over my face every time something violent happened (to later realize they never really showed anything TOO gross.)
Then towards the middle the movie was making me a little angry, I thought they were going to end it the easy way out. But they kept going and making it more exciting as it goes along. Then I realized it was getting to the ending and the ending was awesome. It really puts everything all together. I recommend the Directors Cut more though, because it was really intense.
The kid actors in the movie were GREAT. They really blended well together. And Amy Smart's ability to change personalities so many times in that movie was awesome.
The movie is about Evan Treborn (Event Reborn *get it?*) And his disorder where he blacks out every time something goes majorly wrong in his life. Then when he wakes up he is unable to recall what just happened. He was told by a psychologist that his memories were like a movie, and no harm could be done by going back to them. But the kid just freaked out each time he tried to remember so he started keeping journals and then for about 7 years he just forgot about them. Then on the 7th anniversary of not having any black outs he decided to remember the past, and go back to where he was raised and figure things out. He talked to his past friend Lenny (who had loads of issues after being apart of a prank that went to far)... and his old lover/friend... Kaliegh to ask questions.
Lenny went nuts on him, because of his problems. So did Kaliegh probably even more so then Lenny, she didn't want to be reminded of all the bad things including her pedophile father. Evan realized he could change the past because when he was thinking about the past he had a cigarette in his mouth , and since he was older he didn't like smoking anymore, so he spit it out and it left a scar on his stomach he never had until then. So he said "If I can create scars, maybe I can heal them..."
From then on hes been toying with the past trying to make things better but no matter what he does someone gets the bad end of the stick.
Then in the end he realizes something... but if I told you, then Id be ruining it, so WATCH IT! Don't LISTEN TO THE STUPID CRITICS, this movie is one of the best. It will give you something to talk about for a long time.
