This was very well directed acted and tense throughout. Once you get past the concept (which can be ridiculous) the uncovering of the mystery is great. The middle half was a little too dramatic but once Mackie tries the meds its a thrill ride and I liked what they did with the small budget. The direction from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead is what keeps this floating the most.

I enjoyed it, but I still feel like it could have been better. It's impressive what this director was able to do with a small budget though and both Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan had really good chemistry.

I just feel like the concept itself wasn't explained all that well despite it being very cool and original and it also kind of dragged at times, especially in the middle section.

I like the gloomy vibe of the film and the time travel concept it explores is a bit fascinating in the beginning, but in the end I felt it didn't amount to much. Mackie I thought was alright, but I didn't really like Dornan in it. Really it was just the story of girl gets trapped in the past and Mackie tries to get her back that I found pretty dull and uneventful.
