Now, I'm not one who believes in time travel, so usually I avoid films with such plots. But on the same note I am running out of good movies to watch that I've yet seen, so I chose to watch this one since it has a few actors who I really enjoy.
So, this film's plot revolves around a man who is reliving the same day over and over because each morning when the day restarts, he spends the entire day evading a group of assassins until finally they kill him so he has to restart but only he is aware that they've killed him many many times (all of whom each have their own special weaponry they like to use, such as a machete, Chinese sword, Hitler's gun, and so on). The movie includes some very amusing humor which I would say is well balanced with the action. Most importantly though is this film does a decent job explaining the time travel to the audience but only at the right time, which we have to wait for almost the entire movie for it BUT I felt like it keeps your attention on the movie well enough, and without fail. Also the acting is all on point in my opinion.
There's one scene near the end (skip this sentence to avoid spoilers) where the protagonist uses a sword to impale one of the guards that he's fighting in his forehead, and I have to say... that actor (whom I have never seen or heard of before I think) made me twinge a bit when we got to see him with it sticking out of his head but still alive. One other thing worth spoiling I think is the asian assassin who uses a sword does get kind of annoying because she says a very stupid/cheesy line - in fact, her entire character is surely based off of the main character in the classic Kill Bill franchise, but it isn't a poorly made character, dont get me wrong, she just has one specific line she says ALOT since she and the other assassins unknowingly kill the guy numerous times, so the audience has to hear it like 10 times probably, so it can be annoying.
Otherwise I would recommend this video to anyone who can't find a better choice, as I did. I'd give it a solid 7/10 I think. |
