Review of 57 Seconds

57 Seconds (2023)
2/10
Nolan-Not

Warning: Spoilers
I love Time Travel movies, they always have room for deep intellectual questions, philosophy, twists and turns. You wonder how the power will be used, whether there is a cost in using it, what are the side-effects? What are the vulnerabilities of this power? What if there's more than one? Are there multiple dimensions? Are there time police? What if everything is not as it seems? Do we trust our timeline, our narrator? What if everything we're assuming about the direction of time itself is wrong?

This movie does none of these things, but it does have the main character gamble in the stupidest way possible, instantly marrying a girl, and then going to work at a drug company.

This could've been Nolan-esque, but instead it's Kafka-esque.
