![]() Rachel Taylor is hit and miss for me, just by luck of the draw I’ve seen her in a few things in the last couple of months and she’s grown on me, she’s good here cause she has a role that’s more than meats the eye, I spoil anything but it’s not the standard girlfriend role. The acting is pretty good across the board, Robbie Amell has a tough job he has to do scenes over and over but he also has to shown he knows more than he did the last time around, so it’s a performance that has to be nuanced and clever. They built the story nicely, the tension and the mystery grows the more we know which is hard to do once you now what’s behind the curtain the mystery and dread is gone. The film is also set in the future so they use that as well the technology and some other things are different. So it’s not just him figuring out what to do not to get killed he learns twists and turns to the story as we do and I thought that was clever, so as we go we find out who the masked men are and why their doing it. What I like about how they use the gimmick is that we and the main character learn more every time the loop starts again. What I liked: Let’s get to the big thing first, the time loop, yes this is a Groundhog Day like gimmick, time is repeating but they do it in a clever way and they explain it with science. Thoughts: This was a Netflix Original so didn’t know much more than what I say on the trailer and I have to say this was the first time I saw something Robbie Amell was in. Why I watched it: The trailer looked pretty good and of course it was genre, I need a better reason. Rotten Tomatoes Score: Critics 60% Audience 46% Plot: Trapped in a lab and stuck in a time loop, a disoriented couple fends off masked raiders while harboring a new energy source that could save humanity. ![]() ![]() Stars: Robbie Amell, Rachael Taylor, Shaun Benson ![]()
