Synopsis: A guy wakes up in the hospital after an accident, and is told by the doctor that he is two years ahead of when he thinks he is.
Appraisal: Aside from creative shots, which enhance the atmosphere of nightmare, and overall decent performances, this film hasn't got much going for it scriptwise. The ending solution accounts for whatever happened previously without really justifying it.
Rating: 30
**THERE IS A POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD**
**IT'S A REFERENCE TO FILMS WITH A SIMILAR ENDING**
There have been several superior films, dating at least as far back as 1962, with the same central idea that lies behind the solution to this film's mystery. [Correction on January 13, 2007: actually there are earlier films with a similar idea, that apparently was used for the first time in the short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce, written in 1886.]
