Curator Review
Verdict
A slick, star-driven crime-comedy with a time-travel hook and a strong sense of playful, self-aware genre mashup. The appeal seems to come less from airtight plotting than from chemistry, needle drops, and a few unexpectedly emotional turns; it looks like a movie for people who enjoy messy, specific, cultish entertainment more than polished high-concept sci-fi.
Best for
fans of offbeat crime comedies
viewers who like time-travel used for character therapy rather than hard sci-fi
people who enjoy star personas being deconstructed
audiences who respond to loud, specific needle drops and cult-movie energy
Skip if
you want rigorous time-travel logic
you dislike shaggy, talky gangster stories
you prefer clean tonal control over chaos
you’re not in the mood for a movie that leans heavily on its cast’s charisma
Overview
This looks like a knowingly oddball crime caper that uses time travel as a pressure valve for character conflict. The premise is simple enough to sell in one sentence, but the real hook seems to be the way it turns a dangerous night into a series of personality tests, with the sci-fi element functioning more as a comic and emotional amplifier than as a puzzle box.
Worth noting
The strongest signals here are tonal: people are responding to the movie’s specific jokes, aggressive needle drops, and the pleasure of watching familiar star types get pushed into stranger, scrappier territory. It sounds like the kind of film that can feel a little loose or uneven, but also alive in a way more polished studio genre films often aren’t.
Bottom line
If you like crime stories with a cult-movie pulse, this should be worth a look. If you need airtight plotting or a more disciplined emotional arc, the charm may not fully outweigh the messiness.

Yes I am friends with the writer/director yes I am biased no I don't care because I'm not being paid for this review. Often felt like BenDavid made this movie specifically for me. There's an action scene set to Andrew WK (something I've been waiting forever to see). There's a scene involving one of my favorite songs ever that turns into one of the more moving moments I've seen in a movie this year. It has Jimmy Tatro onscreen doing… more Yes I am friends with the writer/director yes I am biased no I don't care because I'm not being paid for this review.

As a major Oliver & Company fan, that opening needle drop was like activating a sleeper agent within me.

Obsessed with the Gilmore Girls love but if I ever walk into a strip club and they’re bumping Dave Matthews I’m out of there immediately.

Nonlinear crime storytelling, stylized dialogue, and a playful sense of danger, even if the tone is more polished.
