By far one of the best films of 2004!

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2006)

Whenever a films tries to take a step away from the norm of popular cinema his work should be applauded...it takes guts. The Butterfly effect is one of those films.
Gruber and Bress have tackled an interesting premise in this psychological thriller. Kutcher, playing Evan Treborn, shines in one of his first attempts in a non-comic role having to try on many different characters within his existing persona in the film. It is something worth seeing on its own.
The story is interesting and complex, and it seems to get more complicated the more you think about it!! There are some obvious loopholes in the time line of the story that I feel go with the genre so do not take away any from the movie itself.
A definite must see for any fans of the genre and of movies that go against the norm of popular cinema.
10/10
