Deja vu is deadly in this "Groundhog Day" of repeats...
5 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Not a bad little thriller with an interesting concept that doesn't always work, but still manages to hold the interest throughout. MIKE VOGEL is, for some strange reason, caught in a time warp of the kind seen before in "Groundhog Day." But his time warp has him murdered--over and over again--in some very brutal style by some vengeful souls out to destroy him. Before midway we get some explanations--something about "harvesters" feeding on his energy to restore themselves, like vampires needing new blood.

The story has him involved with two young women--JAIME MURRAY is Medea, a predatory female with a hidden agenda, and Christina COLE is his blonde girlfriend who turns up after each of his murders in a new setting, who gradually comes to realize the danger he's running from.

There are plenty of loopholes in the confusing story but you won't have much time to think about them. There's plenty of action going on and enough plot twists to keep you guessing until the rather weak fade-out.

Summing up: Better than average thriller filmed in Great Britain on the cheap. Vogel bears watching--he's a good actor and deserves better material than this.
