The team of top-secret program brings ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) into its midst to capture the terrorist (Jim Caviezel) responsible for a ferry bombing that left hundreds dead. Its amazing technology lets the team fold time four days backward and see the madman's movements as he plots to kill a woman who could give him away. Doug realizes that the technology could allow him to do what law-enforcement officers dream of -- go back in time to prevent the crime.

Critics Consensus

Tony Scott tries to combine action, science fiction, romance, and explosions into one movie, but the time travel conceit might be too preposterous and the action falls apart under scrutiny.

It's a hard movie to hate, just one that's far too easy to forget.

Take away a couple of neatly staged action sequences and you're left with a callously measured slab of US jingoism that deals with the most horrific human tragedies in the most lunk-headed and insulting way possible.

3/5

It's Denzel himself, ambling through the nonsense with just the right degree of twinkling insouciance, who keeps you watching. Good fun.

If one can get past the dubious technical details of the setup, the competent acting should take care of the rest of the entertainment.

4/5

Sounds a bit dodgy, huh? Not when an in-form Denzel Washington is involved. He's the glue that keeps this absurdly compelling thriller together as it mashes up the present and the past to intoxicating effect.

4/5

Although a certain amount of disbelief suspension is a necessity, the script tries exceptionally hard, and succeeds, in building a credible case.

I thought it was very well done and come on, it's Denzel. It was a little hard to follow the time shifting explanations but I still really enjoyed it. The ending was excellent as well. I watched it probably 15 or more years ago and I'm so glad I gave it another look.

It's a very good film. But the plot became predictable once the strange part of the story gets revealed. It still kept me on the edge of the seat though, so it served the purpose.

Not a great movie, but if you suspend your disbelief and let Denzel do his thing, man, is it a fun ride.

An okay movie despite the silly pretense of time travel. Denzel Washington's performance is not what he later became. He seems lazy in this. Val Kilmer helps the movie. Otherwise a forgettable film, which is unusual for a Scott free production. Not worth a second watch. But first time around it's worthwhile.
