Repeaters - Ogni giorno

When I was looking at the cast I thought, oh no not another teenager flick like Twilight or that kind of trash. I have nothing against teenager flicks, I liked Red Riding Hood and Jennifer's Body, but I have something against flicks that are about nothing just some love story. But when I saw Michael (Richard De Klerk) I remembered him from the 4400 series, and the face of Amanda Crew did ring a bell too, Final Destination 3. Dustin Milligan, the third main lead I knew from The Messengers so I knew they could deliver their stuff. And they did, the performances are excellent and you really believe the characters. Somehow the story reminded me of Triangle. You better have full attention to understand it all. It's an excellent flick not only for teens but also for Sci-Fi freaks and for people who can dig thrillers. I won't go that far to say it's a drama because the Sci-Fy takes the main part. It's never explained what has happened to them but the story is strong enough to let you forget that. Their is some red stuff in it, not that it's creepy or anything but it can offend the people with weak stomachs. So it's a bit for everybody, or did I repeat myself?

While the title does have more than one meaning, there is not that much depth in the characters. Of course you do know what the characters have to do to get out of their "rhythm". The question being, if they all really want to do that. Apart from the very straightforward story, some questions about morality (though not well played), the actors might be the weakest point here. Especially our main guy cannot convey any feeling as hard as he may be trying. But he's young so maybe he'll come around one day.

Amanda Crew tries, but doesn't have that interesting of a character either. Plus her "pivotal" scene does not convince entirely. Not to mention that she is too often passive than she should have been. Finally the third character might be the most interesting, but even he fails to bring the movie around on his own. Interesting, but nothing special (the twist at the end not really helping either)

The cast and crew of this film know what it takes to make an interesting movie. I was quite surprised to discover it was a Canadian thriller comprised of all Canadian actors and crew. I did not realize this until after I watched the movie and then checked out the movie's details on IMDb. Repeaters' repeating theme is sort of another take on Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray and though this duplication takes away from any claim Repeaters could have to originality the two movies are totally different in plot and genre. There are some unexplained parts in the storyline's flow but I do not think they are strong enough to throw the audience out of it's constant comprehension of the general stream. In other words Repeaters has the ability to entrance an audience and so thereby can be appreciated as a good, reasonable piece of movie entertainment. My congratulations go out to the crew and to the talented young actors for not engaging in melodrama but instead delivering a good, down-to-earth performance with excellent production effects. Let's see more of these 'way to do it' movies which appear so very together. Well done, cast and crew - 'you've got the feel'!

As it states, I'm not going to repeat what you already know.

In the strange event that today repeated itself, tomorrow, and the next day, and so on. Questions you would ask yourself would be grand, and this movie does NOT leave many questions.

If you were given the same day to do what ever you want, would you kill, would you murder, would you rape, or would you save a life? these are possibly already questions you may have.

Luckily this movie gets to the darker groundhogs day that some people may have been thinking about the whole time. I mean why wouldn't some one want to go rob a bank, or possibly commit a even more heinous crime? Tomorrow it wouldn't count right?

This movie bends your emotions, plays with your mind, and doesn't stop until the end.

This movie does lack real depth, which may cause you to not be as close with the characters, or may cause you to lose interest. But with that being said with what depth it tries to create it isn't a reason that this film should be avoided, not by any means.

The filming is perfect, it captures the lovely British Columbia that I've loved since I was a kid, and happens to make a wicked back drop for the entire film.

There was only one actress I knew in this entire film, which was Amanda Crews, asides from that I have never seen any of the other actors/actresses in anything. If they have been in several other works than that would explain how their acting helps this movie on so many levels, it will play with every emotion no matter how heartless you are.

But if this is actually one of their few jobs they pulled it off perfectly.

I couldn't give this anything less than a 6

This isn't for everyone, but I do think they accomplished what they were attempting and the acting is mostly good, especially the leads.

It is like Groundhog Day, but way darker and less fun. The major twist is there are three people stuck, and since they are scum bags in rehab, they do all sorts of questionable things on their repeated day.

What really makes it interesting is when they start turning on each other... and remembering it the next day.

Not the best ever. The tone kind of reminds me of The River's Edge and Boys Club.

But ultimately it is surprisingly touching and you feel sad for the person you don't expect to.
