When a rare phenomenon gives police officer John Sullivan the chance to speak to his father, 30 years in the past, he takes the opportunity to prevent his dad's tragic death. After his actions inadvertently give rise to a series of brutal murders he and his father must find a way to fix the consequences of altering time.
A fairly wonderful movie about fathers and sons and the mystery of time.

Why gripe about a few minor inconsistencies? Just relax and enjoy the show.

This ambitious but frustrating timeshift thriller never quite manages to jam together two distinct stories.

Quaid's buoyant earnestness complements the stunning, low-key performance by Caviezel, whose close-ups give new meaning to the idea that still waters run deep.
