I finally managed to watch this film. As soon as it was announced, I ordered a copy from Amazon.
It was a fun experience, dare I say. Having had virtually no preconceived notions about the film apart from the official trailer, I found myself pleasantly surprised when it began.
Frank Grillo performed commendably given the storyline, and the production value was high. The investment in production clearly paid off in terms of aesthetics, and in no way did it feel substandard or shoddy. Mel Gibson makes an appearance, much to my surprise, playing a brilliant antagonist. Despite limited screen time, his presence was impactful whenever he appeared.
The film features a plethora of villains intent on pursuing the main character – not exactly a hero but the central figure, portrayed effectively by Frank Grillo. Michelle Yeoh has a minor but noteworthy role, which was enjoyable to see, as does Naomi Watts – an actress I appreciate, but haven't seen much of in recent films. She played his ex. I won't reveal the plot twist around the time loop – you'll need to watch the movie for that. It's quite self-explanatory and easy to follow. The action scenes, of course, take the center stage.
