Exit Strategy

The science-fiction idea of a time loop has been widely explored, from the classic "Groundhog Day" to more serious flicks. Often, this type of film is, inevitably, repetitive. This short movie, on the other hand, manages to convey the repetition with well-written narration and adequate use of flashbacks.

The story is compelling and goes beyond your typical sci-fi thriller. The screenplay is clever and manages to juggle the main story, human aspects and a bit of humour. The characters are pretty well-described, so the audience can be entertained both by the series of the events and by the relationship between the two brothers. Acting and editing are, on the whole, solid.

This is the story of two brothers. One is just your average guy, family, kids. The other brother is hi tech nerd. He has developed a way to get a day to continue to repeat itself. The problem is if he tries to intervene and change things, another problem takes its place. The cool thing is that the editing and pacing are wonderful and they have brought in the human element.

I saw this great short at Tribeca. I loved it! A really talented cast, an ending you don't see coming and lots of fun. Travis is a great story teller and an excellent editor. I just saw that it is available on short of the weeks youtube channel now!

We've seen many, many different takes on the time-loop story, but this short spares us the endless repetitions and changes the ending you may have come to expect. Simply wonderful performances, transparent editing, and clever all around. Hope to see something in the theatre from this writer/director one day.

Not original. But interesting. A film about fate, plans, tenacity, brotherhood. Convincing, well crafted, seductive, powerfull for the impecable script and for a plot who is at the border between Sci Fi and classic drama, proposing more than a trip in time for a noble cause but the connection between two brothers looking for the answer to a tragedy. A film more than seductive. Like each one, good support for questions.
