http://imdb.com/title/tt0366627/
| Code: |
The film centers on a military veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. When he is accused of murder and lands in an asylum, a well-meaning doctor puts him on a heavy course of experimental drugs, restrains him in a jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue. The process sends him on a journey into the future, where he can foresee his death (but not who did it or how) in four day's time. Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him? |

Well I got back from watching it  it wasn't a terrible movie and it wasn't a great movie. I liked it. I would like to discuss certain bits but I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it so I’ll wait  Keria was as hot as always. Adrien Brody was cool and all the editing was cool snip-and-snap nothing that I haven’t seen done before. Some scenes would / could make you jump… snap shots as seen in ‘saw’/’boogeyman’/any modern horror movie…
All in all i’d see it again if I had more money and the theater wouldn't close at 12 
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

This one gives a wicked impression
Looks promising, but I somehow get the feeling the plot and all it's twist and interest are given (or close) in the ads for it?
I am mistaken or is it really just some guy trying to find how he died while being projected in the future?

They did blow it being a great movie. It's complex plot is'nt brought to closure very well. It's ok, surely worth watching but this could've been great. half way through I came up with a better end. But still enjoyable. The current release is fine. Although someone mentioed nips, DOH. Can't see that well enough on the release, DOH.

Better ending?  Please, do elaborate? Does he fuck keira in that ending and her mother joins in? Cause I'd like that ending

The commercials (and even the logo) made me think it is just a "The Ring" ripoff which is sad. I mean in the trailer guy says "i am going to dye in 4 days" that was to much for me I don't watch ripoff's of shitty movies.

Nope, not even close to the ring. IMO it's more like The Butterfly Effect than anything else -- except where the timeline kept changing in TBE, in this it's really just him going back and forth between two times.

I just got done watching it and thought it was decent. It was flawed and I was kinda disappointed but there were some parts I really liked. I'd give it around a 7/10.
