I value originality a lot these days - especially from Hollywood - and it's just nice to see something a bit different for once even if there are missteps along the way the bit where it veers wildly into comedy, for example.
What is unsurprising is that two straight-to-video sequels followed, which goes to show that Hollywood greed is alive and well. I've just rewatched this film, or at least the director's cut version of it.
It's certainly the better version - even darker and more graphic, and with a downbeat ending which comes across as profound. No point bothering with the theatrical cut when this exists. As a child, Evan Treborn suffers from blackouts. Her single mom Andrea Melora Walters leaves him with Mr. Miller Eric Stoltz as his babysitter. However Miller would film him in pornography with Kayleigh while Tommy watch.
His treatment in Sunnyvale Institution doesn't reveal his blackouts. Kayleigh continues to be abused by her father.
Tommy's anger sends him on a bad path and he grows to hate Evan for his love of Kayleigh. Evan moves out of the neighborhood and vows to return for Kayleigh. In college, Evan Ashton Kutcher has left behind his past and his blackouts.
He's living with wild man Thumper Ethan Suplee. He reads his old notebook and flashbacks to moments in his childhood.
He returns to the neighborhood to find Lenny as a volatile recluse. Kayleigh Amy Smart is a defeated girl working as a waitress. His return drives her to commit suicide. Tommy is an ex-con. He starts to go back in time and change history. The premise is intriguing. It starts off great but the whipsaw changes are too much. It's too wild. It does allow Ashton Kutcher and to some extent, Amy Smart to stretch out their acting skills.
