One That Got Away From The Box Office !
I cannot believe I missed this one during it's theatrical release.This is one helluva spectacular sci-fi/murder mystery thriller sure to capture the attention of even those viewers who despise science-fiction or find movies dealing with time too perplexing.The key to understanding and appreciating this one is too pay very close attention to details throughout the film.The rest is easy to follow and comprehend.If anyone was given a second chance to re-write their past and that of others to bring back a loved one,despite the multitude of alternate consequences that could occur,would they do it ? That's exactly the basis for this film. However, detective John Sullivan did not realize just how grave the consequences would become after doing just that by using his deceased father's ham-wave radio!From here on the real ride takes flight with several unsolved serial killings intertwined ! No pun intended, but time is of the essence in catching the killer and righting a wrong...This is one of the first time altering sci- fi movies that can pull at the viewer's emotions or heartstrings when you realize that most of us in a heartbeat would love to have another chance with our dearly departed. The acting by Dennis Quaid is a genuine stellar performance. Jim Caviezel portrays his role perfectly as a man still emotionally and psychologically haunted by his father's death. His character walks through life in a half-awake,depressed, somber state while letting others sort of trample on him.Every aspect of this film with regards to story,acting,effects are astonishing ! Give yourselves a second chance and rent or buy this dvd;It may be a keeper in your movie collection...
