2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   A fun and exciting movie that delivers even though it is via a “gimick”. At first I thought it wouldn’t work, but the progressive re-telling of the story from different vantage points worked well. Each time the story is told, we are revealed a little more about what was really going on. My only complaint is that the repetitions did start to get a tad tedious and until near the end seemed disconnected. That said – there were some great performances Forest Whitaker, Dennis Quaid, and William Hurt. Sigourney Weaver also plays a role early on – I wish there was more of her. One funny thing is that I thought Bruce McGill looked exactly like Senator Bill Richardson…
