If you enjoy high-stakes thrillers with a time-bending hook and steady suspense, this is a solid pick, especially if you liked The Vanished or Recalled; Not for you if plot holes or familiar concepts quickly take you out of a movie.
Pros: tense premise; fast-moving suspense; engaging lead pair | Cons: familiar setup; confusing time rules; a bit overlong
