Ultimately Watchable with some Stunning Dark Cinematography, Color, and Expressionistic Elements. The Look of the Thing is the Thing here and if You are Compelled by Non-Linear Story Formats, and Dreamlike Presentations, this Movie is a Must.But be Advised it is a Dense Screenplay with not a lot that is Easy Going Intellectually. It's Neo-Noir Niche is Derivative of David Lynch and the Coen Brothers. The Acting is Surprisingly Well Done and the Movie is a Fascinating Alternate-Universe with Perplexing Turns and Supernatural Elements.For a Low-Budget Indie this is an Excellent Effort and the Film is Beautifully Framed with some Interesting Camera Angles and the Dialog is Spiffy, Although Most of the Movie is Mentally Challenging in a Good-Bad Way. But it is Interesting All the Way.

(From the back of the video box.) Who's there? Nobody.On a cold and endless winter night a ruthless assassin (Mandylor) commits a murder and ignites a sequence of mysterious events that spiral beyond his control.Narrowly escaping a savage attack by a shadowy assailant who seems to anticipate his every move, time begins to fold in on itself. People he meets don't remember him. Wounds he sustains vanish from his skin. He becomes caught up in an inexplicable loop where events eerily repeat themselves, until an ominous phone call confirms the impossible: his mysterious would-be victim is still alive.Forced to relive his actions over and over, the circle closes in—ending in a fateful confrontation with…himself.My opinion--save yourself the time of watching this movie. It is so convoluted that even at the end, you still have no clue about what you just saw. This movie is a down-ward spiral.

I first saw this at Portland's 2007 HPL Film Festival. I say first because I will see this movie at every available opportunity. I can't wait for this to hit DVD.This has a lot of elements to it that I would like individually in a film. Good acting, mobsters, mood, mobsters, non-linear plots, mobsters, film noir action, mobsters. Ah you get the point.Shawn Linden does a beautiful job setting the film's table with just the right amount of mood. His choice of shots makes this film. The acting is better than the films budget would normally allow and Shawn does a great job pulling it all together. When you watch this you will be amazed.He has some serious talent and if he can get bigger budgets then I would not be surprised to see Mr. Linden a household name within a few years. My only complaint is that Shawn should make mythos films!!!!

The slow pace and repetition of scenes is obnoxious and just when you start to get sucked in because you think that one unifying element will be revealed to tie the whole movie together, you get squat. The film probably took all of three days to film since most of the work was done in the editing room. You spend most of the film watching the same scenes over and over again with some slight variation in perspective. Barely one and a half hours long, it felt like a 3 hour torture chamber. The acting, dialog and the look of the film were all impressive, the screenplay simply fell short. The film tries really hard to say something in a cryptic, pretentious format, but lacks any actual discernible point. Nobody should see this film.
