About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt, high-stakes thriller that mixes family drama with time-paradox suspense, in the vein of Déjà Vu or Source Code; Not for you if you dislike complicated timelines or loose explanations.
Pros: inventive time-bending mystery; strong father-son emotion; gripping, escalating tension | Cons: some plot holes; science feels hand-wavy; timelines can confuse
