Man with No Past

This movie has an interesting concept. However, it takes forever to get there and could have been a lot sharper and snappier. (and shorter, but I always say that)... One could hope that eventually Ryder gets his happy ending but sadly it seems he's doomed to continue with the never ending saga of attempting to rescue the girl and her Mother. At least he finally gets to know love in this one. Perhaps the next step will be to grow on that - I suspect that will depend on Mr Chaos himself.

The good guy gives off Terence Hill vibes with his American accent slipping. Younger viewers will have to look that up I suppose. Lol.

Is boring. It's boring because it is as chaotic as flash cards are at a 5th grade foreign language class. Indeed, it appears the director was just as bored; doing one disjointed scene after another just to get through his contract.

I pity the actors who signed on and then had to suffer the direction.

To that add the storyline is a pretty well used theme ( flip-flopping to and fro in a timeline.) The difference here is it flips and flops so frequently you forget where the base point is?

Character development has little "time," in the flip-flops to develop. And so, the viewer is left with their own devices to sort things out; which might be fun in a well written novel. But in a film that typically last less than 200 minutes a lot of artistry has to happen. It did not happen here. Instead it's a hod podge of unbelievable scenes knitted together and presented as "A Film." It is just that. But not a very good film.

If you need background noise while cleaning or sleeping, this is a perfect choice. This was the worst chaotic movie i ever watch. It seemed very low budget and didn't make sense at all. It wasnt engaged. You couldn't pay me to watch this again. Everyone wear the same clothes. Maybe 2 pairs of clothing each actor. I fell a sleep 5 times. Nothing was explained. I wish I didn't pay for it. I cant even write a short summary of what I watch. I need my money and the time I spend watching it. The actors did their best,the flash backs didn't make any sense. I really rate the movie 0 out of 10 if I could.

The movie is an action movie but the storyline is quite a bit convoluted, dealing with the idea of repetition of lives and cosmic forces.

The quality of the movie overall is decent, nothing is amazing but nothing is bad either. Few of the actors are quite good, obviously Jon Voight and also Marton Csokas who needs to get more villain roles, he is great in them.

Action scenes are not bad but seem like the type of scenes that I've seen before elsewhere, with the camera near the action moving about and with the action changing from normal speed to slow motion to normal speed. It looks more of a comic book movie type action. It is done competently.

The violence isn't too graphic and there is a modest sex scene where nothing much is revealed.

This movie seems to be a collaboration of many movies and TV series in years gone by with cherry picked ideas that don't quite fit into a neatly packaged storyline. Yes, it's very well acted and presented but not very well written. I constantly felt the answers or clues were just around the corner in the next scene throughout this movie but they never came, and left me with a lot of questions over incidents and events. All in all it's a decent bit of entertainment with light voilence and a non-revealing romance, by today's standards. The way Adam Woodward carries himself in this movie it's clear this actor will be destined for greater things in times to come. Jon Voight and Charlotte Weston are amazing (as always) and Charlotte Vega is great in a supporting role. Well worth watching, even though the ending has been seen many times before and is very much predictable. The writers could have broadened their minds and done it differently to make this more than a 6/10 movie experience.
