Time Crimes
aka: Los CronocrÃmenes Timecrimes
Spain 2007, 92 minutes
Dir. Nacho Vigalondo
In Spanish with English subtitles
Genres: Science Fiction, Suspense/Crime, Cult
Topics: Timewarp.
Aroview: Intricate, mind-bending Spanish gem following a man who trips back a fraction in time and inadvertently interferes with his past, present and future.
These elements of time are cleverly folded into a convoluted but never confusing caper that is playful, audacious and rough-hewn in the tradition of the best B-movies, but it's also likely to engage a wider audience as a sustained tale with multiple twists and a satisfying pay off. It's also refreshingly free of the smugness and self-conscious sex appeal that is usually customary, embodied by the off-beat casting of lead Karra Elejalde, whose charms are considerable if not physical. Well worth rewinding.

5 stars (Exceptional) A brilliant exploration of situational ethics wrapped in a B-movie mask. 'Sci-fi' in name - but far from chrome in nature. ~NDK
5 stars (Exceptional) I struggle to classify this as a B-movie" for it is a work of perfection. It doesn't feel like a sci-fi time travel, yet the theories work perfectly. The way the film pans out is ingenious. ~KLTL
5 stars (Exceptional) Brilliant movie, the age old paradox; can you go back in time to stop yourself from going back in time?rnrnIt's a watcher, getting more complex as the twists unfold. ~rat1512
