The side stuff is better than the main plot but worth a look see

Warning: Spoilers
One of this years 8 Films to Die For concerns a young man who can jump back through time, a gift he uses to try and help people. Unfortunately when he tries to help unravel his past things often get radically changed in ways he never intended. Good little thriller is something you'll want to see once since once you get to the end there really isn't a point. I liked that there is a bit of intelligence involved with the film. the dialog is smart and the reasoning behind what happens is reasonably well thought out. If there is a problem its that the central story isn't as good as the things its wrapped in. The story of our hero trying to unravel a murder and finding more occurring as result just doesn't hold up as solidly as everything else. If I could watch the side bits again with out dealing with the central story I'd gladly watch this again, right now I don't see the need. As it stands now this is a good little thriller that should have been better. Worth a look.
