    Has anybody seen this?

    I'm thinking about seeing it tomorrow, but would like to hear any thoughts about it.

    I'm a big fan of political thrillers, and this looks fairly interesting. Very neat mix of cast for it - Sigourney Weaver, Dennis Quaid, and Forrest Whataker.

    I haven't seen this yet, but I'm definitely going to when I next get paid. I've seen the trailer, it does look very good.

    Could you elaborate a bit? Your answer is the same as saying "It was ok I guess" - not very helpful.

    It was decent, I do agree it was short. But at the end when they go through the rewind for the last time and play what actually happend, It wasen't that short. It makes you think and on every different view of a person they showed. It would make you think of how it connects all together. Then on the very last rewind/view they show you how it does like a answer to the question! :)

    The restarts (telling the same story from each perspective) gets old fast.

    A friend of mine saw it last weekend and they liked it. They thought that the way the same story was told over each time was interesting.

    Saw it on friday. Overall I liked it, I'd say 7/10.

    The acting was ok (Dennis Quaid has done way better), but the explosions were cool, and the overall story line was neat. I really liked the way they planned it out, it's a neat spin on conspiracy theories, and I bet it would have made an amazing novel.

    Sigourney Weaver had a total of about 10 lines, and maybe 5 mins on the camera in total lol, that's sad.

    I felt that it was a little stretched out, and then towards then end it's this huge rush to cram the last of the story in.

    But overall I'd say it was worth it if you're into conspiracy/political thriller type movies.

    I was pissed when they kept "rewinding" it. I was quite bored and was looking forward to leaving, I have sent the producers an "invoice" for the waste of my time.

    Note: I am pretty tough on movies. ;)
