Hidden Gem: Timecrimes


A man is accidentally sent back a short time into the past and finds himself needing to continue traveling in order to fix the mistakes he was making.

Timecrimes is easily one of the more well-planned and well-written time travel movies ever made. The subtleties within the movie had me rewinding to see if that had happened in the first place. It most certainly had.

What at first looked like a scary thriller turned out to be an exciting, thought-provoking drama. It is interesting to see the mania infect the protagonist and take over, a short-lived but intense obsession.

The acting is pretty good, but it is in Spanish. I find it hard to truly gauge the performance without knowing the language and understanding where the emphasis should go.
