“A rare example of ingenious science-fiction storytelling where the fundamental concepts are so intriguing that their stylish execution feels like gravy.”~Leonard Maltin

Aroview: A top-drawer time-traveling actioner, following a hired gun whose job to assassinate targets transported from the future is complicated when he's required to end the life of his future self.

Though it falls slightly shy of the ground-breakers in the genre, this breaks through its generic trappings in a more grounded second half that showcases spooky child actor Pierce Gagnon, and a fiercely maternal side of Emily Blunt. The film's best conceit, however, is the prosthetic effect applied to lead Joseph Gordon-Levitt to resemble his older self, played by Bruce Willis. Several steps up in scope for the writer-director of the indie hit, BRICK.
