I can't remember the last time I hated a movie 50 seconds in. This appears to be footage that was shot for a backdrop to a video game which must have never been developed so the owner's decided to release it as a film. I don't know if comparing it to a student film disses the film enough. It's pacing is softcore porn without the interesting dialogue...or porn. The only thing diabolical about this film is that it was ever swept up off the video editing suite's hard drive to see the light of day. Horrible...and not in a good way.

I've just finished the director's cut and I really enjoyed this very well thought-out plot. As a big fan of sci fi I found myself pleased with the treatment of all of the subject matter. Ashton made the main character believable and keeps you guessing as his mental state changes. It's hard to know what is real and what is real to him. I highly recommend this film for fans of mysteries, time travel, mental health dramas, etc. One word of warning though, if you have issues with children in dire situations, brace yourself. Fantastic.

I re-watched this because it had been over a decade since I had seen it. I was surprised at how dated and campy this movie has become. It's like a sloppy 70's leftover that you really just want to avoid. However, it's hard to see how this movie could not have boosted Melanie Griffiths' career as she demonstrates her finesse as a porn star. The story is choppy and strange but features a great nugget by Holly Johnson & Frankie Goes To Hollywood. The movie is a puzzler and it makes you wonder what sort of drugs the director (dePalma) and the crew were up to. Give me some of that... Favorite aesthetic moment...the tiered beach house with a view of New York's twin towers...nice place, but what's with all those changing tents on the beach? And who is the bad guy anyway?
