Initial Thought: Honestly I had no idea about this movie until today. I read that it was pretty good though. The cast has a few pretty good names to it. So I figure why not check it out.
Characters/Acting: It has some experienced younger stars with Danielle Panabaker and Matt O'Leary. It also has seasoned actor John Rhys-Davies. I expect the acting to be pretty good. George Finn's look kind of reminds me of Cillian Murphy in a way. The acting is actually quite good from everyone. It was kind of funny to see Amin Joseph as a security guard after seeing him as a gangster in Dope. I really enjoyed all the characters here.
Story: Three friends discover a mysterious machine that takes pictures 24hrs into the future and conspire to use it for personal gain, until disturbing and dangerous images begin to develop. That plot alone is crazy enough to grab your attention. You just have to see what the hell is going on. This is definitely a truly original concept. Engagement parties have changed a lot for the generations. It takes a little bit for things to kick it, but things do begin to escalate. When they do that's when the fun really starts to happen. There are some really great scenes here. When action happens it catches you off guard which I liked. I thought the ending was the absolute best part. It made me enjoy this one even more.
Directing/Writing: Bradley King who directs and co-writes this is new to scene. He only has one other credit to his name that I have never heard of. BP Cooper is also new with no other credits. These guys definitely need to do more movies. They are original. They know how to build the tension and keep you entertained with a pretty even paced film.
Final Thought: Holy crap this was a good find. It's absolutely thrilling. It's a slow but powerful ride. On one end it makes you want a time camera on the other you want to stay the hell away. Anyways this was a lot of fun. It's a hidden gem that everyone needs to check out at least once.
