Film: Par for the course actioner that weighs itself down with pseudo-scientific ramblings on the physical nature of time. Denzel Washington plays Doug Carlin, a Federal agent brought in to investigate an explosion aboard a New Orleans ferry. While combing the scene he is taken to a top-secret government lab presided over by Agent Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer).
Turns out that a strand of technology has been developed, allowing one to review the events of four days before in real time. This allows Carlin to investigate the connection between the murder of a beautiful woman (Paula Patton) and the explosion. He gets drawn further into the case when he discovers the true limits of the technology.
The film is strangely compelling, despite its silly premise. Against your better judgment, you'll find your mind racing to keep up with the ludicrous temporal suppositions. It has solid action credentials with visual maestro, Tony Scott, at the helm and Jerry Bruckheimer in the producer's chair.
Washington is okay in the lead and Kilmer does nothing with a nothing role. Patton is great to look at, but it's Jim Caviezel as the bad guy who steals the scenes. Special Features: Deleted and extended scenes, a Surveillance Window - go back in time and experience behind-the-scenes moments with the filmmakers.
