Scott Cordes stars as Daniel, a family man whose life is seemingly destroyed when his wife and son are killed in an automobile accident, leaving him completely alone. During his intense period of physical and emotional recovery, Daniel uses down time to repair his son's video camera, which was damaged in the crash and somehow "absorbed" the otherworldly power to stop time in its tracks. This amazing discovery re-instills a sense of self-importance and meaning in Daniel, and he quickly turns to another surviving victim of the same tragedy: Sarah, the widowed wife of the other driver from the same accident. Daniel wants nothing more than to help her and begins taking a series of steps in this direction. Unfortunately, Daniel's innate altruism soon outstrips his control and grows decidedly impure, as his magnanimity turns into a compulsion. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    Very interesting and unusual little film. Something about it didn't quite sit right, but on the whole I thought it was a good effort and I do intend to sit and watch it again sometime and see if I can follow it a little better. The acting was very good too from a no name cast (... read morewell, no one I had ever heard of, anyhow). If you like unusual, you may want to check it out.

    It sounded sort of lame, but it had time/space continuum stuff so we watched it. And it sucked. The plot was nothing and the main guy was just really creepy and the girl was lame and I just wanted them both to die and leave me alone.

    I relate to this Movie now more than I did when I saw it, since losing my Husband Tragically in a Motorcycle Accident, now that to Date I have lost Seven key players in my life to Death, I'd like to see this again & maybe my rating will change

    Sometimes less is more - the special effects in this movie are simply amazing, given that it was made on a shoe-string budget. Unfortunately the movie suffers from the B-level cast (the supporting cast is especially bad), and the story could use a bit more depth.

    Even though I'm not ranking this movie that high, I'm not ranking it that low either. I didn't hate this. And even though it is not original, it had a different take to this. It did go a bit slow for my taste, but some of the acting in this was pretty good.

    Slowly unfolds, with amazing clarity, the darker psycho-pathological potential of the ability to stop time. A very well portrayed story about an unsettling theme. Excellent dark and suspenseful sci-fi thriller !
