Travis hitches a lift with
psycho redneck Belushi, only to find herself mired in much carnage.
But then she gets the chance to turn the clock back 20 minutes... This is a
nice cross between Groundhog Day and The Hitcher, with some good
touches -- the heroine's attempts to fix things just result in more death
and mass destruction. The script teases an obvious ending, then ignores it
completely, and although the central concept is ludicrous and relies too
much on perfect timing, it's always intriguing to see how things pan out in
the various alternate futures. Plenty of action and mayhem, impressive
handled, while the central performances are generally better than you'd
expect. Something of a sleeper, and buried on its extremely brief cinematic
outing, this film is also a minor gem, which surpasses expectations in most
areas and is worth checking out.
