Many complain about formula movies. This one was certainly outside the box and was done very, very well. I think it was necessary to set up each flashback like a rewind on a VCR or else the viewer may have gotten completely lost. Those rewinds only took a few seconds on screen time. This film exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be the exact same scenes over and over from different vantage points. However the picture extended the scenes with each of the six vantage points and the result was a great thriller. This film was a perfect length of 90 minutes and the picture and sound in the Blu-ray version were top of the line. I highly recommend this action packed movie. 11-19-2008

Forest Whitaker turns in one of the most over-acted performances I've ever seen (even for him) and it wouldn't even be consdiered good high school drama. Dennis Quaid is plausible as a returning, damaged goods, secret service agent, but the character is never fully developed to allow to viewer any attachment. Michael Hurt barely pulls off a passionate chief executive. The story line has promise, but this screen play is so poorly written that the viewer has a difficult time getting emotionally invested. There was plenty of opportunity to develop any of the characters into something interesting to watch, but it never got there.

Appearances are not what they seem in this clever and suspenseful treatise on what happens and what truly happens. While the conclusion may be a bit contrived the film overall rewards the viewer's patience and engages our attention throughout. A winner.

Very suspensful---I liked the way that each person's "vantage point" was revealed. It made it very interesting and kept the viewer on the edge of his/her seat. Great movie!

The journey is pretty good, but the final scene was really a let down.

This is a great movie to keep you on the edge of your seat! I really liked how every viewpoint added something new...and the ending is great!

The acting was very good, but the story line is a little difficult to keep track of. I did not like the going back and forth in time element.

Absolutely pointless, boring and a typical Hollywood movie - unreal. Skip it. Your time is not worth it
