Interesting story starring Jake Gyllenhaal as an air force pilot who is inexplicably sent back in time for 8 minute time frames to locate and identify a train bomber. As he keeps repeating the same 8 minute slot in time, he falls for fellow train passenger Michelle Monaghan and hopes to somehow spare her from certain death. There is more to it than meets the eye, but it’s not too hard to figure out. Vera Farmiga co-stars. I still enjoyed it. It’s not quite Groundhog Day; it’s a little more interesting than that. And the views of Chicago were fab, almost makes all those hovering helicopters at all times of the year worth while... A decent flick. But I think Limitless or Lincoln Lawyer are better choices.
