Good concept, poorly executed.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie will never be seen as one of the great classics, it is much too pedestrian in execution for that - sadly. The actors are mostly competent as is the direction, but with the exception of Catherine Bell and James Allodi none is really good, sometimes delivering lines as if just reading from cue cards.What is really intriguing is the script, which does not rely on the typical B-movie thriller baddies. All characters really *are* characters, the supposed baddies actually have good reasons to hunt down the two main characters. There's even two juxtaposed dialogues spelling it out for the sake of the usual couch potato.Even more surprising is the stand on Free Will the scrípt takes as Casper van Dien tells Catherine Bell that their hunters may try to safe their own past, but he has all his future in front of him. As long as we cannot predict the future in any meaningful way (lets say with 100% assurance) we have a contingency of decisions, which all influence the future.In the hands of a more visionary director, with some changes to the cast and made for the big screen it could have been one of the best sci-fi thrillers for a long time - and much more interesting than *Blade Runner* or the second and third installment of *Matrix*.

Who would have thought that the guy from Starship Troopers would be in a bad movie? Don't waste your time. It couldn't even hold my attention for its entirety. The premise is solid, as far as made-for-TV science-fiction goes, but the execution is shoddy. Again, don't waste your time.

I will not remember this film for the performances or the direction even though these departments were not awful. What made me like the movie was the appeal of the sci-fi story. The plot was good and of course could have been burnished into an elegant film with some effort. The film leaves you satisfied right up to the last frame of the film--don't miss it.I particularly liked the development of the character of FBI agent Stanton with his watch. I only wish the director had thought of giving the character more time on screen.

Despite its low budget and production and unlike many other time travel movies this one deals with the consequences which are believable. You will find yourself sympathizing with both the "good guys" and the "bad guys" who are just doing their job in preventing change in time. Suppose you stop a plane from crashing which had a person aboard who would later plot to kill thousands of people, or save a person from a car accident who would later have a negative impact on life. If we had the technology to go back, would we save the victims from the titanic, or the hundreds of plane crashes that have claimed thousands of lives. Sure if you think about it that would be a good idea but at the long run you are facing a population crisis and the people who are supposed to be dead are changing history forever.Every action you perform has an impact, not a sudden one but in a few years it changes the course that history would have taken. This is why you can find yourself sympathizing with the bad guys who arent really depicted as bad guys in this movie. Maybe it would be wise to let nature take its course and not interfere with history because it could have devastating effects in the future.
