Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Megan Dommer Cuba's performance left a lot to be desired...I think he was going for 'stunned' for the dramatic moments, but it just came off as blank and lifeless. The supporting actors weren't bad. I'll always have a soft spot for Nicki from her Supernatural days. It's not completely the actors' fault that this ended up being nearly unwatchable. The plot itself was just bad sci-fi. It made no sense. The murderer turns out to be a guy from the future who wants to give his younger self a better life than he had. Okay. That I'll buy. So he comes back and kills his abusive mother, which puts the kid in a worse situation (living with his aunt). So future guy kills the aunt, which puts the kid in an orphanage so the future self comes back and kills the teacher who's recommendation kept him from being adopted and so on blah blah blah. In the end, the time-traveling murder ends up killing his younger self, which in turn kills the future self and rights everything. And by rights everything, I mean it sticks the younger self right back in the original situation with the crack whore mom that ended up producing his serial-killing future self in the first place. Fail.They either needed to kill the kid and have him stay dead or change his situation so drastically (Cuba adopting him and making him grow up to be less of a sociopath, for example) that he no longer becomes creepy guy from Desperate Housewives. Just a bad movie, all around.

sddavis63 I suppose one shouldn't expect much from a straight to DVD movie, which is fair - because one doesn't actually get much from this straight to DVD movie. It was shaping up as a pretty standard story of a serial killer case being looked into by an investigative reporter (Lewis Hicks, played by Cuba Gooding, Jr.) At some point, it becomes an open question whether there really is a serial killer, or whether the serial killer is a fiction of Hicks' imagination, and Hicks is really the serial killer. I was wondering - so score a handful of points for this. Then it morphs into a sci-fi movie that I really hadn't seen coming. Usually, when there's a plot twist I didn't expect I appreciate it, but this twist struck me as silly. I would have preferred they stick with the issue of whether or not Hicks was the killer. Adding a sci-fi theme just made this - I'll say it again ' silly.One piece of the story that made no sense to me. Posing as someone from a "big brother" type agency, Hicks is able to convince a social worker to let him leave an orphanage with a young boy? She didn't check him out? She didn't check out the agency he claimed to be working for? What kind of social worker is this? She just let the boy leave with this complete stranger because he claimed to be from a community group that tries to mentor troubled kids? Right. That's believable.5/10. Maybe 6 if they had simply stuck to the straight serial killer angle without the sci-fi silliness.

pooley79-754-978308 Well I saw this movie about 3 months ago and as I am a big fan of Neal NcDonough, looked forward to it a lot. I must say first of all that I thoroughly enjoyed the film, although Cuba Gooding Jnr was not the best actor for the main role, the story was great and the twist was enjoyable. I think the last film i saw Cuba in was hardwired and I wasn't very impressed by his role but once again i did enjoy the story.I do believe that a big name actor in the main role would have made this a lot better along with some other recasting, but all in all very watchable, not B-grade by any means and definitely an enjoyable watch. Im surprised this went straight to DVD as I think it would of done well with some good marketing at the cinemas, but none the less I hope lot's of people go out and hire or buy this one and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did. Maybe if it had received a bigger budget it would have rated higher among most viewers, I give it a 7, which whilst fairly high, is fair I believe. it definitely had potential but even though it never reached it, it was still a very noble attempt with a great storyline.

Doyle Kearney What a load of crap, I had to turn this off about a half hour into it. The script was crap, the acting was crap. What a waste of film. This will be the last Cuba Gooding movie I watch. If this is the best he can do now he may as well get a job at Home Depot or Walmart. What a waste of a promising career, his projects have bee going from bad to worse and this by far is the worst I've seen. How does a person go from an Academy Award to this, is it bad management, poor project selection or no input or interest in his own career. Where is the Cuba Gooding that acted in A Murder of Crows, bring back the Cuba and maybe he'd get some better roles. What a shame.
