the clue is in the casting

Rating: 2/10 (29 January 2009)

This gripping and complex exploration of the chaos theory and time travel kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, gasping with delight with every twist and turn of the excitingly original plot. That's probably what I would think of the film if I was an total moron. Make no mistake, this film is aimed squarely at the intellectually subnormal, and evidently they provide an impressively sized target audience. With Ashton K they have the idiot's idiot in the lead role -however- the quality of his acting is not the issue, it's the preposterously stupid plot, criminal lack of character development and jaw grindingly terrible dialogue that kills this film. It's a shame really because there is the kernel of a clever cult classic film in there somewhere. With the premise behind the films title, the tension of trying to rediscover blacked out traumatic memories and the device of flashback time travel, a half decent writer, fair director or journeyman producer could have made this a quite entertaining film. This is not a quite entertaining film. Unless of course you are a barely sentient imbecile, in which case you may find it quite entertaining. You may also enjoy throwing pennies at the moon, or cuffing yourself round the head with your own shoe.
