The ONLY review on the movie is from one person......... and they rate it 10 STARS.

Really? 10 Stars? So it's like, one of the best movies ever made? Is that what you are saying? Unbelievable.

Lemme break it down for you. Any movie with Sophina Brown in it is AUTOMATICALLY on my bottom-feeder movie list. She is terrible. She's pretty, but that's it. I have no idea why anyone would cast her in an action movie - or really any movie.

Second - this concept - taking people's memories and being able to revisit, download and "relive" them is tired, old, boring and has been done 1,000 times. It is far from novel and interesting.

1 Star. I would give 0 Stars, but the rating system won't allow it.

For such a complicated storyline it pulls together nicely! I was engaged the whole way through the film! Definitely a hidden gem!

What a fun ride! Fast paced and action packed. Keeps you thinking the whole way through. The acting was all very well done! Especially charley boon and Josh Alba! I wish Josh Alba would do more movies! He's sooooo good! Give it a watch!

I only got through part of it. I don't care if something's a small budget indie production or whatever the case might be; this was just super cheesy. After which there were two reviews at the time. One raved and gave it a 10 while the other was entitled "You Know it Sucks When..." and gave it a 1. I loved reellycynical's take. I also noticed this had a 7 when I checked it out, knowing high numbers early on are usually the product of fake ratings. I wasn't surprised when it was a turd.

The really sad part is a day later there are several more rave reviews, all of them obvious fakes. It's sad that these things are done-even though they all couldn't be anymore fake looking and obvious once you've read a few-and it's too bad that the site has no control of it, although I don't know what they could do. I've noticed it happening for some time now. I'm guessing this will end up about a 4.5 when everything evens out.

You fake ratings and reviews people are just piling more sad on top of sad. And why? If they influence someone to watch, the truth will just end up being found anyway. Something not being great is one thing, but this trend has just been very, very sad.

Edit: Thanks for all the thumbs downs but the rating is now at 3.3.

This movie was recommended to me this week online so I gave it a chance. I'm glad I did! It jumps around in time but the action is fun and there's a scene near the beginning that made me jump and came as a surprise. I loved the fast pace and the actors did a great job. If you like mysteries with science fiction and action give it a chance!
