And yet another DTV flick, but I can actually mildly recommend this one, especially to Zingaling. Here is a great idea to be seen that was ruined by inept screenwriters. The movie deals with a scientists who develops a gadget that lets him travel up to 10 minutes into the past. This way he decides to cash in on his paycheck over and over. Unluckilly for him, at that moment a gang of bankrobbers storms the bank and all hell breaks loose.

This is a very interesting idea (as I consider most time-travelling concepts pretty interesting) and the movie has a decent cast with Vinnie Jones' hammed up leader of the bankrobbers being the highlight. The "hero" is played by LOTR's Sean Austin who is decent, but not much more. Vinnie Jones is mostly fun to watch as a villain, though, just like in Blast. The story itself is mildly interesting, but definitely doesn't go into the direction it should have. There should have been more time travelling in it. In fact, that happens for about 3-4 times in the entire movie and the rest is simply an ordinary average action-thriller with mild suspense and very predictable twists and turns. It could have been a very decent movie, but turned out to be way too generic. The ending is pretty bad as well. Throughout there are some interesting plot points and some nice action, but overall this movie fails to stun.
