The premise is intriguing, but it's placed in the service of an overwrought and tasteless thriller.

Nothing can save this repetitive bore. Dude, where's your memory?
Not one second of this bilge makes a lick of sense.
Kutcher is the wrong actor to anchor a psychological freak-out.
It's one of the most unpleasant Hollywood films in some time.
A flawed but serviceable thriller.
Sloppily conceived and clunkily paced, the movie goes from improbable to preposterous within its first few minutes; over the next two hours the filmmakers never miss a chance for some gratuitous piece of sadism, sexuality or sleaze.
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. So very bad.
Tries hard to be affecting and mind-blowing, and sometimes it comes close.
More like "The Gag Reflex."
The film is not eccentric enough to have a lasting cult appeal, but it is reasonably enjoyable as it unfolds.
this is exactly the sort of movie I like to see.
Assez bien dans l'ensemble, mais la fascinante prémise n'est jamais vraiment exploité à sa hauteur.
Despite a fairly upbeat ending, the ugly images dominate the film with the time/reality plot a bloody nose afterthought.
Cool theories...don't necessarily guarantee good stories...[even if Ashton Kutcher] is repeatedly punk'd by the space-time continuum.
Walks a super-thin line between horrific believability and hilarious unbelievability.
One of the most thoughtful films of 2004.
Intense. The multiple stories were legitimately interesting but I couldn't take Ashton Kutcher seriously. Fortunately, I was watching this movie in good company.

Entertaining, but that's about it. Unmemorable. With a thriller and a premise like this, it should've been more memorable
