It doesnt have much more going for it than the rewind gimmick, a very talented cast of actors, and some pretty good action sequences.

The movies all about how you can see something with your own eyes and still not know what really happened, and Im happy to let it mess with my mind.

Travis does manage to stage a decent if ludicrous car chase, but its not enough to distract from the perfunctory, half baked movie that surrounds it.
